World Wide Telescope created by Microsoft is a computer program that runs under Microsoft Windows client. It allows users to convert there computer into a virtual telescopethat accesses the virtual sky, not only in optical wavelengths butalso in other bands. There are full-sky images in spectral bands rangingfrom radio to gamma-rays. There are also thousands of individual studyimages of various astronomical objects from space telescopes such as theHubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope in infrared,the Chandra X-ray Observatory, COBE, WMAP, ROSAT, IRAS, GALEX aswell as many other space and ground based telescopes. It allowsusers to view the Sun, Moon, planets, and their moons in theircurrent positions.It is a great tool for the initial study and teaching Astronomy.The computer programme allows users to run various tours those arecreated by other users and one can also make their own tours.
NASO will create the Nepalese version of the WWT so that Nepalese can enjoy the WWT in their own Language :-)

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON "Accretion and Outflow in Black Hole Systems" Kathmandu, Nepal, October 11 - 15, 2010
It's a great news that the International Conference on "Accretion and Outflow in Black Hole Systems" is going to be held in Kathmandu,Nepal during October 11-15, 2010 whose scientific scope will be understanding of the process of accretion onto the central black hole and outflows from the system (including the jet formation) in BH binaries, AGNs and GRBs.
For more about the conference can be found in the official website of the conference:

As the deadline was July 31,2010; please contact the LOC for further quarries on registration! I hope you will be able to make! If you never try, you know what can be happened. So, contact LOC as soon as possible.
Welcome to the land of Himalaya :-)
