When your site visitors get completely lost in the experience and forget how much time they've spent there, I think that's a sign you're doing Flash right. Every time I thought I had discovered everything about this site, I found something else that added a whole new layer of complexity.
First off, it's a map of the Solar System which you can explore by clicking and dragging, or using the scroll wheel to zoom. You can access the different planets and moons, and even see the anticipated trajectories of comets and zoom back in forth in time to see, for example, how Jupiter's moons orbit around it. There's also an option to check out fascinating facts.
In addition, you can access a map of the constellations visible from your area, which yeah, there's all kinds of sites that do that, but this one includes the Moon, which makes it a helluva lot easier to orient yourself when you're trying to figure out which stars are which constellation.
I think the navigation is fairly effective and intuitive. You can use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out and click the arrows on the ground to move, or you can use the navigation buttons at the bottom for zooming and moving. There's a limit to the zoom, which might drive you insane if you're the type of person who likes to read EVERY title card and description, but if you mostly just want to browse and admire some awesome dinosaur bones, then this site is perfect.
There's also this cool map (accessible from the top right) that you can use to quickly escape to other areas if you get bored.
