Cool stuff. However, maybe the post could be titled "NASA WebGL of the galaxy", since it only seems to focus on the Milky Way.

If you're wondering about the non-uniformity, it seems like Kepler stares in certain directions a lot which means it finds more things there.

If you zoom out to about 100,000 light-years and rotate to above the ecliptic of the galaxy, then the software displays the rest of the stars in the galaxy also. A cool perspective on the data.

As usual with all the cool demos, seems to be broken on Firefox
