The Photopic Sky Survey is a 5,000 megapixel photograph of the entire night sky stitched together from 37,440 exposures. Large in size and scope, it portrays a world far beyond the one beneath our feet and reveals our familiar Milky Way with unfamiliar clarity. When we look upon this image, we are in fact peering back in time, as much of the light—having traveled such vast distances—predates civilization itself. Seen at a depth thousands of times more faint than the dimmest visible star, tens of millions of other suns appear, still perhaps only a hundredth of one percent thought to exist in our galaxy alone. Our Milky Way galaxy is the dominant feature, its dusty arms sweeping through the frame, punctuated by red clouds of glowing hydrogen. To the lower right are our nearest neighbors, each small galaxies themselves with their own hundreds of millions of stars. http://medi​a.skysurvey.​org/interact​ive360/index​.html Similar to Google Universe map .

Is this geometrically accurate? Moon seems way closer to earth than I thought it would be. :nervous:
I don't about it geomatric accuracy ,but yes moon is the closest thing to earth . "At its closest point, known as the perihelion, the Moon is only 363,104 km (225,622 miles). And at its most distant point, called aphelion, the Moon gets to a distance of 406,696 km (252,088 miles)."

ok, I checked it again. I was viewing it in Heliocentric view (whatever it means) and it scared the sh!t out of me. :nervous: It seems more accurate in Geocentric view.
