Check it out. Google Earth in reverse, a complete archive of the entire known universe, compiled in a "stellar cartography" fashion. This thing has resulted in hours disappearing from my life, it's that cool. :)

That is actually included in Google Earth already :)

Just select view menu and select "Switch to Sky" in Google earth, and you have access to it all! :)

But you are right, it's awesome! :)
