How many of you people like to gaze at the stars in a clear night sky??
In a famous myth called Mahabharata there was a scene where the whole Universe will be seen inside Lord Krishna's mouth. It sounds purely abstract and virtual. But these virtual stuffs is made real in this website Wikisky. It has a 3-d image of the whole universe and you can spot any distant stars which is located several light years away with just a click of the mouse. Sounds unimaginable, but true. It also has 3-d images of several constellations and several facts about the origin of a star, its age, its distance from the earth etc. This website is not just limited to Milky way galaxy but also has a virtual image of the several galaxies like Andromeda galaxy,mice galaxies etc. Learning about these stuffs as a theory will be very difficult to imagine and also boring. But when the input for learning about these unimaginable stuffs is given through websites like this,it will definitely bring clear understanding.
