Microsoft Research has just launch a beta of a its WorldWide Telescope product. You can download the beta here.
WorldWide Telescope stitches together terabytes of high-resolution images of celestial bodies and displays them in a way that relates to their actual position in the sky. People can freely browse through the solar system, galaxy and beyond, or take advantage of a growing number of guided tours of the sky hosted by astronomers and educators at major universities and planetariums.
The experience is much like Google earth or Virtual Earth.
