Google's 100,000 Stars

If you get a chance head on over to the Google Chrome Experiment - 100,000 Stars website. It only works in Chrome, so make sure you don't use IE or Firefox.

The experiment, just released today, is a virtual tour of our universe. There is a "guided tour" function and you are allowed to freely roam about. We always hear about how large our universe is, but seeing it displayed in this format really shows just how small our planet, and ourselves, really are.

Be careful though. Not only is this sight visually appealing, but you can click most galaxies, stars, etc for more information. The extra information, amazing graphics, and the cool soothing music will trick you into spending far more time than you originally intended roaming around the galaxy. You've been warned!
