Instructions: There are two ways you can enjoy this fantastic resource:

1. Take an automated tour - Use this option to be taken on a guided tour of the milky way. The tour starts at our very own sun and gradually takes you to the outer reaches of the galaxy, while teaching you some fascinating facts along the way. To take the tour:

When the website loads, you will see the words 'Take a Tour' on the top left hand corner of the screen.
Click on the words or the 'play' symbol above them to begin your fascinating tour. Just keep looking at the screen!

2. Explore the Milky Way using your mouse - Use this option to explore the stars of our galaxy as you wish. To do so:

When the website loads, you will be greeted by a scrolling image of our galaxy.
