Cool stuff. However, maybe the post could be titled "NASA WebGL of the galaxy", since it only seems to focus on the Milky Way.

The only known exoplanets are in the Milky Way - we can't yet detect them around the vastly more distant stars of other galaxies, except perhaps in the rarest of circumtances.
Yeah, that's exactly why they're focusing on the Milky Way and not the whole universe, and thus the title is a little bit off.
