That is dynamite. But I don’t have Google Chrome and it worked for me.

Pretty cool. But I couldn’t get info on any stars other than Sun to come up.

I don’t have Chrome either and it worked.

Pretty pictures and whatnot I'm sure. The best program for touring the virtual universe by far though, is Celestia. Once you get used to the controls, you can go almost anywhere in the universe. It is a great program to give children (and adults for that matter) a sense of the immense size of the universe. I can't recommend this program enough. It helps a lot if you've got a reasonably fast computer and graphics card for smoother operation. There are also a bunch of geeks who have way too much time on their hands who have created some awesome addins, like actual and sci-fi spacecraft, worlds, and environments. Celestia is absolutely free and has native versions for Linux, OSX and MS-Windows.
