Gigagalaxy Zooms In On the Milky Way

Gigagalaxy Zoom has a very cool photo of the milky way galactic center. It's annotated so you can see where various famous nebula are and where the large and small Magellanic clouds are (they are nearby small galaxies that will collide with our own). You can also overlay the constellations onto the map.
