How about this for a OT topic
Everyone should go
take a look at this and play around with it. 45 years ago I
wanted to build something like this using small lights and
lots of wire. Being able to see it
on my 23" computer screen via the laptop is amazing and blows
my mind.
100,000
Stars is
an interactive visualization of the stellar neighborhood
created for theGoogle
Chrome web
browser. It shows the real location of over 100,000 nearby
stars. Zooming in reveals 87 individually identified stars
and our solar system. The galaxy view is an artist’s
rendition.
