Hubble UDF - Innovative Online Presentation

From WikiSky

For the first time, SKY-MAP.ORG was able to present the famous Hubble Ultra Deep Field on the Internet using a visual form, convenient for browsing on a regular monitor screen. The SKY-MAP.ORG technology makes it possible to view this image at any scale. Furthermore, all objects from the UDF directory (10,000 galaxies) on SKY-MAP.ORG are identified. By pointing the mouse at any object, a user causes a browsing window to open. This window will contain brief information about the object. A mouse click on the object opens a window with detailed information and new articles about this object.

The unique SKY-MAP.ORG technology can conveniently display any images, including enormous photographs of very high resolution. To view these images and photographs is often very difficult because of a computer’s limited capacity. Moreover, SKY-MAP.ORG allows, with ease, to combine multiple images into one. This amazing technology is a powerful tool, which makes it possible for the general public to easily manipulate data, which earlier could be accessible only by a limited circle of professionals due to technical reasons.
