100,000 stars
WOW, that is amazing. I'm always blown away by stuff like this, where you can actually get a sense of how small we all are and how distant even the closest neighbor stars are.<p>I just close my eyes for a minute and think (or try to), what would it be like for those people that are finally able to reach, say, Vega (I know it's not the closest). Sure, this is not a big deal in sci-fi, but for reality, it's pretty mind blowing. This is 100% why I seriously want to live for a few hundred years: to have an opportunity to see the first time we actually go to the nearest star.<p>In the meantime, I guess this will have to suffice.<p>I also love this image that is not interactive like this, but still mind blowing: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Earths_Location_in_the_Universe_(JPEG).jpg" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Earths_Location_in_the_Uni...</a>
