The project takes each individual entry on the online encyclopedia and plots it as a star in a virtual galaxy, that you can navigate from the comfort of your sofa.

Wikipedia provides a service that many of us make use of on a daily basis, but when you're viewing individual entries, it's easy to forget the sheer scale of information on offer. The beta of WikiGalaxy, which you can view right now if you're using the Chrome browser (it also works on Firefox), provides a more tangible visualization of that information, and while it might not be the most intuitive way to assimilate, it's certainly a fascinating one.
