This definitely meets the requirements for "cool video of the day."

meh, one thing that irritates me about many of these "fly through" or "zoom out" movies of the universe is that everything stays the same brightness regardless of how far away it is. You see all those galaxies at the very end even though they would be too dim to see
I don't think that aspect of realism was taken into place when this clip was made. It seems that it was solely made to portray scalability.
Wait, why did they go halfway, pan 180 and then go back?
So, what's that black area around the universe? That's what screws with my head.
That would be the unobservable universe, but I have to say that this video is very deceptive. The universe doesn't look like a rectangular bar. However, since we really don't know what the shape of the universe since there is an observable universe and a possibly unobservable universe, then we really have no idea.
The view is a cone, not rectangular. The reason for the cone shape is probably the field of view of the telescope that was used to generate this map, with Earth being at the tip of the cone that you can see at the very start of the video.
