This is an interactive star map of our galaxy, the Milky Way. You can zoom in and out of not only our own solar system, but 119 617 nearby stars. There is a tour functionality that will bring you to our star, and help you to visualize a light year. You can click on any star in the map, and details as to the star's heat, history of discovery, and where you can find it in the sky will appear.100 000 Stars Interactive Map
The app is called 100 000 Stars. This is a brilliant tool created by SeeingStructure from Visual.ly. You can click any of those links to bring you directly to the developer's page, homepage, and the app itself.Source: SeeingStructure (http://visual.ly/100000-stars); 100 000 Stars (http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/stars/)
