Anyone save that link to the very cool (free) astronomy app someone posted?

I lost my link to it. Thanks.

On edit: Someone posted it within the last week, but I don't remember whether it was in GD or in the Science forum.

9. There's also Worldwide Telescope by Microsoft

It's free, and gives access within the app to NASA data on stellar objects. It's kind of like Google Earth for the sky.
