Microsoft has partnered with NASA to put the space agency's most interesting content, such as high- resolution images of Mars and the moon online.
Microsoft's online virtual telescope, WorldWide Telescope will feature the images. Under the agreement, NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California will process and host the data.
Okay, so you and your buddies are billionaires and you’ve secured this sweet deal with NASA to use Moffett Field. Problem: The fleet of jets—even the one with the hammock, full-on Party To Go compilation, and yes Downtown Julie Brown when she’s available—have gotten boring. How do you up it a notch? Sergey, Larry, and Eric Discuss Their Next Jet Purchase Eric: How about a fighter jet?
Tomorrow a total solar eclipse will darken part of the Earth. Unless you're hanging out in Outer Mongolia, though, you won't get to see it. Luckily there's NASA, which will stream a good shot of it from a special website. Well, there'll be a partial view in parts of North America, too, but the best views are closer to the Arctic Circle, where nobody really wants to go. With the Olympics in China and record fuel prices, getting to places where the eclipse is total are a little cost-prohibitive.

Many people according to Frank Taylor at his Google Earth Blog believe the images are in real time. He believes that is because of weather satellite photos that are a few hours old or because of live weather radar. He goes into detail how Google collects its images for Google Earth.
Eric Schmidt might have seemed a little out of place speaking at a luncheon commemorating NASA's 50th anniversary; an astronaut or someone who had at least worked for the agency might have been a more commonsense pick. Schmidt had some interesting things to say, though, and effectively stirred up several discussions.
NASA is shopping around for companies to help them develop a massively multiplayer online game for use as a recruiting tool. Now it's certain Google and NASA are spending too much time together.
There's probably no truth to the following theories: Google's starting its own airline; Google has a clandestine arrangement with NASA to set up data centers on the moon; the founders plan to hire their own Tattoo to shout "The plane! The plane!" for their own bored billionaire amusement.
