01THE MILKY WAY
100 billion stars
A city. An address. Somewhere you left your keys.
The universe is large. We can narrow it down.
An unreasonable amount of universe. One perfectly ordinary location. Travel inward, find yourself, then zoom out whenever your calendar starts behaving like a law of physics.
The galaxy and Orion scenes are AI-generated astronomical scenes matched to the supplied reference, with interactive camera movement and transitions. They are not photographs or a 3D survey. The solar system uses textured 3D planets with compressed sizes and orbits; their positions do not show the current sky.
The View of Manhattan is an AI-generated scene, not a georeferenced photograph. Choose Satellite for the geographic destination. Earth and satellite mode use real imagery; optional 3D buildings use mapped footprints. Imagery is not live. The office satellite pin uses the NYC Property Address Directory address point for 1350 Avenue of the Americas (BIN 1034815). Pins mark addresses, not floors or rooms.

Move your cursor toward a reticle to preview the next view, then click or tap to enter. Scroll to inspect the scene. Zoom in and Zoom out automatically travel through the remaining views in either direction. Pause lets the current transition finish, then holds that view. You can also use the five views or ← / →. The stacked image windows belong to the Milky Way view. From Orion Arm onward, compact horizontal tabs keep the scene clear. In the Milky Way, “Hide image windows” switches to tabs and “Show image windows” restores the stack. Drag to look around; rotate Earth directly. Space starts or pauses the guided journey. Escape closes this window.
