NASA’s 3D Guide to the Galaxy lets you interactively explore the Milky Way galaxy on the Web using X Jul 05, 2006
In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams wrote “Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is.” NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s PlanetQuest web site is providing visitors with a unique opportunity to interactively explore the mind-bogglingly big Milky Way galaxy using “plug in free” X3D technology in Demicron’s WireFusion. The platform-independent interactive 3D visualization and multimedia ”3D Guide” can be navigated in real-time over the Web without the need for any plug-ins or special downloads.
