For an out of this world experience, I downloaded Celestia from Sourceforge. This application lets your explore a 3D visual representation of the solar system. This model solar system is pretty much the real deal, with over 100,000 stars and 10,000 galaxies. But wait, there's more! This application also comes with an extension mechanism so that you can add more objects. As I was exploring through the many depths of space, I discovered that you can rotate around on an axis by right-clicking and then dragging. Below are a few screen shots I took so that you can get the general idea before preceeding with your download (then again, it is free, so go for your life!)
