Wormhole

Quoted from Wikipedia: In physics, a wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that would be, fundamentally, a "shortcut" through spacetime.

To us, a wormhole is a "shortcut" that bridges two information points in cyberspace.

Enrich Wikipedia with Space Exploration Mission Data

We are building web services that make it easy to create information wormholes.

A pilot wormhole widget has been developed to seamlessly integrate mission imagery data with Wikipedia articles. It is currently delivered as a bookmarklet that a user can add to a web browser.
