 Our entire existence has been characterized by looking for the next thing. For some reason, we really need to know. We need to know what's beyond the edge of the visible solar system. The World Wide Telescope is a software tool that is a personal portal to our solar system and to the universe beyond. What evidence do we have for the existence of Planet 9? The most obvious is the confinement of distant orbits within the Kuiper Belt. When I first got the plots for Mike and Constantine showing how some of these outer solar system objects are all in these skewed orbits, I was able to draw out all the locations of the objects and, in World Wide Telescope, that automatically put them in a 3D context. It so turns out that they all point in the same direction. They lie in the same plane. There really is no other way to account for them, except for through the gravitational pull of Planet 9. Everything that we know about the universe and modern astronomy is filtered through code. There are sensors all over the world. Telescope's looking up. There's spacecraft orbiting different planetary bodies and they're sending data back to the Earth. World Wide Telescope is built with .NET, data sets are sent into the cloud in Azure. The metadata behind it is managed by a SQL server. It's made accessible to everybody on any browser through WebGL. Developers have the chance to bring the universe to all of the devices we use in our life to find new ways and new pieces of the universe to express to us through this software. With Planet 9, the amount of additional information that we will learn will be staggering. This will reveal our birth story to us. Relations between companies like Microsoft and institutions like Caltech are exceedingly important. World Wide Telescope and how we've used it is just one example. Planet 9 is the planet of our generation. The next generation will find out what is beyond that frontier. Welcome to Connect.
