How about Hubble Telescope at the convince of your laptop. Microsoft recently unveiled the fully operational Microsoft WorldWide Telescope, they demonstrated there long-awaited software to an audience at the exclusive Technology Entertainment and Design conference in Monterey, California, that started Wednesday.
WorldWide Telescope is quite similar to the sky feature in Google Earth but much more expansive, is a virtual map of space that features tens of millions of digital images from sources like the Hubble telescope and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The video shows how you could pan and zoom across the night sky, Mars, Saturn and the galaxies looks really cool.
For the moment WorldWide Telescope is in the testing phase, can’t wait to get that running on my upcoming LCD HDTV. I just hope one day we could do space travel things like in the Star wars movies(not the evil things) :) .

Above the distortion of the atmosphere, far far above rain clouds and light pollution, Hubble has an unobstructed view of the universe. Scientists have used Hubble to observe the most distant stars and galaxies as well as the planets in our solar system. Digital Design
