A while back I posted about the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, well the above picture is kinda related. It is attempt by its creator to show all the stars in the visible universe, all 14 billion Light Years of it.
"This map attempts to show the entire visible Universe. The galaxies in the universe tend to collect into vast sheets and superclusters of galaxies surrounding large voids giving the universe a cellular appearance. Because light in the universe only travels at a fixed speed, we see objects at the edge of the universe when it was very young up to 14 billion years ago. "
If you goto his site (atlasoftheuniverse.com) you can do progressive zooms into our own solar system.
