It appears that the WorldWide Telescope will find the location of some stars but may not give a true image. For example, this is how Betelgeuse, which is a red giant star located on the tip of one of Orion's arms, appears on the WorldWide Telescope. Instead of showing up as red, it looks ghostly white.

(The image on the previous page is Boston and its harbour.)
