World Wind allows users to view multiple worlds. Although termed world, it would be better termed astronomical object since World Wind can be used to represent any spherical object, be that a planet, moon, star, etc.

[edit] Available worlds

There are two ways of adding Worlds to World Wind. The proper way allows distance measurement, elevation data, multiple imagery and a custom toolbar. The second way simply adds imagery layers to an existing world.
