==[http://www.wikisky.org/ Wikisky]==
The main purpose of ''WIKISKY'' is to consolidate [[astronomical]], astrophysical and other [[information]] about different space objects and astrophysical [[facts]].
We hope to [[achieve]] this [[purpose]] using the principle of [[visualization]]. When a person reads an article about a [[star]], the star is only the [[abstraction]] for that reader. The person cannot emotionally feel the [[reality]] of the star without actually seeing it. We strive to create an extremely detailed sky map to help everybody to better understand the information gathering about any space object and various [[phenomena]] connected with those space objects.
There is the list of the functions that have already been implemented in our system:
*The system can display about 500 millions the space objects of the star sky.
*[[Information]] on every object maybe complemented and edited.
*There is an easy search of the objects in place.
*The users can upload the photographs of the districts of the star sky and integrate the objects on the map with the objects on the photographs.
We would like to include more [[functions]] in our system. These functions should be useful for specialists. Some of the functions will carry out [[statistical]] or other [[analyses]] of samplings. Other functions might not be connected to the objects at all. We would require the assistance of specialists to accomplish our [[ambitious]] plans. If you would like to help, please do not hesitate to [http://server7.wikisky.org/contact_us.jsp email or call us].
