Celebrating an Out-of-This-World Earth Day guest post on Microsoft Research Connections Blog

For Earth Day last Friday I did a guest blog post talking about the great collaboration we had with the Astronomers at the Univ. of Washington to create a Digital Planetarium powered by Worldwide Telescope.  Jonathan Fay (no relation) was the driving force behind on our side has been a great experience working with the UW folks, Andy Connolly, Phil Rosenfeld, and Jake Vanderplas.  If you ever have a chance to attend one of the UW Planetarium shows – I can honestly say you’ll be amazed.
