Loads instantly for me.

It's a 100,000 stars supposedly accurately positioned, you can zoom in to the Sun/Solar System, and out to view the Milkyway... pretty cool.

Here's a screenshot.

It took too long to load and it's dark, so I might go all retro and walk outside and look up instead.

That was interesting. I had to set a config variable in FireFox to make it work. I didn't know I could do that.
