It's live: http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/

After downloading it and playing wih it a bit, I'd say it's, well, pretty.

The "community" aspect sounds interesting - not sure what it does or
offers but does "sound" interesting. Too bad you can only join existing
communities (only 3 so far) but not create your own.

Other than that and a pretty interface with lots of photos, I don't see
it offers nearly the functionality you can already get from TheSky,
StarryNight and the like.

Cheers,
Rogelio
