643 megapixel image of our galaxy. Zoom, pan, play. Wow.

Very nice! (Although I think the interface needs a little work.)<p>For those wanting some pointers: The two prominent blobs below the Milky Way in the right half of the image are the Large &#38; Small Magellanic Clouds. Orion is near the right edge of the image, just below the Milky Way. The Big Dipper is in the upper-left portion of the image, more left than up. The Andromeda Galaxy is not too hard to find: straight below the Big Dipper, a bit below the Milky Way.

Neat. Kind of reminds me of Stellarium, a free open-source digital planetarium ( <a href="http://www.stellarium.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stellarium.org/</a> ). Great way to spend a few hours zooming in and out on all of the various stars in the heavens.
