This weekends plaything is brought to you by Microsoft Research (don't worry Mac users it works on Macs too). Its a virtual telescope called World wide Telescope or WWT. It has tours and allows sky scanning at multiple wavelengths for the hardcore. Basically its like having access to Hubble for free.
Having played around with it for a bit, I recommend the tours they are excellent and there are loads of them!
