So as we get to grips with the latest batch of Microsoft Technology Products, why not take a look back at the soon to be 40 year History of Microsoft. From humble beginnings of the Windows 1.0 OS, Microsoft has come a long way launching a wide range of innovative enterprise products. Lync Server allows businesses to effectively communicate internally, whilst SharePoint facilitates project collaboration through shared documents.

Of course, not every product has been success, highlighted by the fact a certain Windows OS may not have made it into the timeline. Can you spot it?

The success of the Hubble telescope has lead to an endless amount of discoveries and opened up a universe of wonder so that it may be visually appreciated. Hubblesite.org provides information on the Hubble telescope, its history, future, breakthroughs and much more. Moreover, the website focuses on Hubble and its impact on astronomy and the amazing image captures of space.

Visitors to the site can view the Hubble images and even download them as wallpaper for their desktop or as printouts to create your own space collection. Viewing the photos may leave an audience in awe, but actually taking a tour of a photo means gaining knowledge about a planet, nebula, galaxy or other space phenomena. Hubblesite’s Image Tours take viewers on a visual tour of the image, putting you up close and in orbit of the astronomical object.

Image Tours

The tours focus on a number of different aspects, all highlighting some of the most interesting features of each astronomical object. Planetary Nebula NFC 6302 means very little to the average person, but if you say the ‘Butterfly Nebula’ many more will know what you mean. The image tour describes how the nebula got its nickname, what it’s made up of, why certain parts look the way they do, how it’s formed and many other facts related to its appearance and progression.

The ‘Buttefly Nebula’ is but one example from the list of tours available on the site. Each has their own set of facts and unique tour data with closeups and a bullet point list of events as a guide. Objects include other nebulas, planets, galaxies and deep space. If you’re interested in learning more about the incredible images captured by the Hubble telescope, then the Hubblesite Image Tours is a fun way to start.
