Slooh: Have a peek into the unkown

sloohSpace, the universe and that lies beyond interest us all to some degree or another. Given the opportunity, I think we’d all be on the next shuttle to the International Space Station because it’s new and it interests us as human beings.

Kids are especially enthralled by the wonders of space. I suppose we all go through that ‘I wanna be an astronaut’ phase. Well Slooh is a great product that lets you take control of high powered telescopes around Europe to have a look into space.

Basically, it works on the same principal as controlling public access CCTV cameras. You can move them around and zoom in and out.

It costs just $19.95 and it’s available here. You also get a book that you can record your finding in and that has activities for the kids. Slooh will definitely have the whole family gathered around the PC saying “left! Left! …no, back a bit!”
