If you're using the Chrome Browser you can look at the following Chrome Experiment that shows you the Proximity of about 100,000 stars in the Milky Way around the Sun. I think this is awesome and pretty accurate.

Only works in Chrome from what I've tried.

Yeah it mostly works but the scroller didn't work for me, had to use the bar on the right side to zoom in and out.

Kind of off topic, but anyone interested in planets and what not, my professor showed me a cool app called Exoplanet which you might be able to tell from the name it shows all the discovered extrasolar planet in our galaxy. It's under the apple market, and it's free. It has a pretty indepth description for every discovered exoplanet which happens to be 849 so far. It also shows the orbit that it takes around its sun as well as our own solar system. I have been messing with it in between classes and stuff, I think it's pretty cool.

If you zoom in to the point where you just see the sun and zoom out really fast it kind of reminds me of the begining prt of the big bang theroy :p, this is kind of like the scale of the universe program thing. (If you don't know of it here it is Scale of Universe - Interactive Scale of the Universe Tool (http://scaleofuniverse.com/))
