It's a video about the Universe.
It's interesting to visualise how the Milky Way obstructs our view of the universe beyond. Stupid galaxy!
Insert awesome title here

The Digital Universe Atlas is Celestia on steroids.
They have a downloadable version (with less steroids).

No it's not. It's today's image -- definitely not a moving picture today.Originally Posted by Glom
Oh, you must have meant to link to this: APOD January 20, 2010.
By the way, the Bad Astronomer pointed out that you can roll your own: BA Blog: Create your own tour of the Universe!
On Friday I posted about a video created by the NYC American Museum of Natural History taking you on a tour of the Universe.
I just received a note from Ben Oppenheimer, the Associate Curator and Professor at the Department of Astrophysics of the American Museum of Natural History (phew!), thanking me for linking to the video, but also noting that there is a lot more information available online about it, including background about the production, and his own blog.
But perhaps the coolest thing is that you can download their atlas — which has stars, galaxies, nebulae, everything — and use it to create your own fly-through of the Universe!
