Space is pretty big.

A google chrome project that 'maps' out the nearest 100,000 stars in our stellar neighborhood.

Thought you guys might find it neat.

Space is awesome. I wish there was a way to explore it all.

It'd be nice if you could click a star to get more information on it.

You know...I remember reading that comic when I was little and not really understanding it.

I understand it now and it's a hell of an eye opener.

5 seconds after I load this my laptop's fan turns on, lol.

This is one of those humbling things that the internet is full of...which doesn't make it less awesome <3

*sits quietly and watches the tour*

I hope one day Google can have "Google Space Maps" in case my great grandson's grandson need directions to Alpha Centauri. I phone users gotta be careful though, if they use apple space maps they could end up in a black hole 8-)

But you'll only be able to use your Galaxy Positioning System for 5 minutes before the battery dies on you :/

Wow, that's pretty damn cool. I also just found out that our North Star (Polaris) has another star orbiting it. :O
