http://www.ted.com Science educator Roy Gould and Microsoft's Curtis Wong give an astonishing sneak preview of Microsoft's new WorldWide Telescope -- a technology that combines feeds from satellites and telescopes all over the world and the heavens, and weaves them together holistically to build a comprehensive view of our universe. (Yes, it's the technology that made Robert Scoble cry.) Follow us on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/tednews  Checkout our Facebook page for TED exclusives at https://www.facebook.com/TED
