ok, I clicked the link and spent ten minutes with the page open trying to upload something before I gave up, what did I miss out on?

Loads instantly for me.

It's a 100,000 stars supposedly accurately positioned, you can zoom in to the Sun/Solar System, and out to view the Milkyway... pretty cool.


Here's a screenshot.

It took too long to load and it's dark, so I might go all retro and walk outside and look up instead.

A star exploded, releasing elements into space. Eventually (a mild understatement) some of these elements got together into a combination that thought, and then wrote that sentence.

That was interesting. I had to set a config variable in FireFox to make it work. I didn't know I could do that.

Chrome is way better than any other browser, fullstop.
