Not sure if the space freaks are all aware of this:

"http://www.webattack.com/get/celestia.html

Celestia is a real-time 3D space simulator that allows to to travel 
throughout the solar system, to any of
over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. All travel in Celestia is 
seamless; the zoom feature lets you
explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to 
spacecraft only a few meters across.
  A point and go interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe 
to the object you want to visit,
just select it with your mouse and click on Go To from the menu. You can 
also retrieve additional information
on the object from web sites, that are linked from the menu. Celestia 
comes with a demo tour and several pre-
selected tours. You can capture views as images and record your travels as 
movie file as well. "

have fun

Tony
