Hey, who here desires to feel completely
insignificant? If that's you, then you'll love this interactive map presenting
you the location of 119,617 nearby stars. It's called 100,000 Stars and it was accumulated
by Michael Chang and the Data Arts Team at Google's Chrome Experiments lab.
Using the map, you can zoom in to our solar system, and then pull back over our
local star system, and then all the way outdoor to the Milky Way for a remarkable
view. The map also has an interactive tour to get you started. OH, and actually
you don't need Chrome to make it work.
