This is more of an exploratory science link that's fun to play with. It's a 3-D map of 100,000 stars, including and surrounding the Milky Way, where you can rotate the view around the stars and zoom in and out. I haven't found a way to zoom in on the planets, but it's still entertaining, and you can learn more about each star by clicking on it. You should also play the short introductory video and watch the view zoom around!
I believe it only works properly on Chrome and Firefox browsers.
