3-D starchart
Nothing major, I just found a really cool thingie yesterday while researching for an SF story I was writing. It's a 3-D starchart of all the nearby stars, with lined distances. You can zoom and rotate, and shift the focus from one star to another. And you can also view specific info on a selected star, by clicking the "go" button. It'll show the immeadiate area and a possible habitable zone. A very cool site.

Here's another cool program to go along with it. (Ok, I pimped this one before, but I can't resist mentioning it again.)
