Default Something cool from Microsoft (about time)
If you are at all into astronomy this is your dream toy.
Think of Google earth , but for the universe.

I downloaded it this afternoon , something like 42 MB , and it allows you to see the entire night sky in 3d with information on whatever you are looking at.

Who needs a telescope with this out.?

These are real pictures, not drawings.

I can even see my home world.
