Those of you who are fans of Microsoft Corporation’s WorldWide Telescope (WWT) software will soon have some new friends. At the fifth annual Latin American Faculty Summit in Buenos Aires May 13, Microsoft announced the global availability of WWT’s Spanish user interface release.

WorldWide Telescope is a virtual observatory that allows you to explore the universe from your computer. You can study celestial objects in multiple wavelengths, thanks to the many observatories that have made their images available. Traveling from one object to another is easy and seamless. As a user, you even can script tours (with soundtracks, if you choose to add them), which other users can view.

All versions of WorldWide Telescope are available online at http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/. Users who previously installed WWT on their computers but would like the Spanish language update will have that option when they open the program.
