The Hayden Planetarium has just released this fantastic little video The Known Universe.

But also for those of you that enjoyed messing around with things like the Universe Sandbox or the Orbit Simulator they have released the Atlas as a program Digital Universe which lets you view and fly around the known Universe.

Pretty cool stuff.

Nice find Isi, I'll have to play with this later. The video was fun to watch as well, although I do think that CG video you linked on IRC last night was even cooler. :thumb:
