Want to see the 'local' space (milkyway galaxy) in a 3D (controlable) video graphic, try clicking http://www.shatters.net/celestia/" to go to the download site.

Enjoy, have fun, it's free, it's neat (my opinion) and it is very well done graphics for a free download.

Yes, I really liked it too, but I only had a little time with it, as it was on a friend’s computer, one who had a fairly decent graphics card. Tried it on one that didn't, yuck!
