I stumbled upon the most amazing website. Nick Risinger of Seattle has stitched together some 37,000 photos of the night sky to create an interactive, 360 degree panorama of the night sky. In this modern age where people feel the need to have lights on at night, there are few places where one can truly enjoy the night sky. In Nick’s quest to find dark sky to photograph, he traveled over 60,000 miles across the Western United States and South Africa.
You can find the interactive, zoomable map at http://media.skysurvey.org/interactive360/index.html and a nice article about Nick’s adventure on the Wired Magazine website.
