Gigagalaxy Zoom

Guisard_sThis is what I ended up with after just a minute of playing around with Gigagalaxy Zoom, a project by the European Southern Observatory.  Start with the Milky Way galaxy as seen by the naked eye, zoom into a section of it, then zoom to the next stage!  There are lots and lots of variations, and cool nebulas to explore!

    Brett: Google Earth already has it. Select the "space" option. Or the moon, or Mars. Tons of information there.
