Virtual Worlds


After spending about two hours on Celestia doing flyby's through the universe i began to think about the geographical applications. This program has a lot of potential in that we soon will be able to see what distant planets look like with great detail. This program offers a lot to everybody. Like myself people can get lost in the universe and never find planet earth again as i did. I had to type in go to Earth and i took a good couple of minutes for the computer to ttravel back to Earth. It was amazing to me that there is a computer program that has much of the entire universe mapped out and named. Each star or planet that i went to had a name. As technology improves we will be able to look at other planets like we look at planet through Google Earth. Space is the final frontier and with the technology of telescope satelites we will be able to explore deep into any galaxcy. Using this kind of technology makes you wonder what the next level will be like.
