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:
