Nice but they screwed up the scales at the macro level. The Milky Way Galaxy is 100,000 light years across. The pictures have the about 5 time too large a scale.
At 100,000 they are only showing a sliver of the local galatic arms. At that scale you should see all the arms from the Scutum to the Rim.
Great link otherwise :)

I was thinking the Milky Way Galaxy looked awfully big at 1 million light years away.
