Can someone recommend me a site on the web that has an applet of some
kind, a book, or other publication that gives a true 3D perspective of
our region of the Milky Way (the 'Orion Arm') say within a cubic
volume of space 100 x 100 x 100 light years centred on the Sun (Sol)
that then allows visualisation of interstellar flight of an unpowered
craft like the Pioneers or the Voyagers? I am looking for an accurate
model movable over time, that takes account of proper motions, Milky
Way rotation, latest parallax-based distance estimates, stellar mass
estimates, etc.
There is some really good stuff around. Do a google search on "3d star maps"
