Looks like a big bang. This shit is mind blowing.

A couple of important notes:
These are galaxies and quasars, not individual stars.
The blue/green/yellow is not a physical boundary, it's roughly as far back in time that we can see.
The explosion look to it, I assume is because we haven't scoped in every direction yet.
There is much more not shown than there is that is actually shown. (This is what we know so far)

http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-12/video-3d-tour-all-galaxies-we-can-see-90-secondsThis little video, brought to us by NASA Goddard, shows off all of the galaxies we're currently aware of, in one swirling, fluid shot.
the video was created by taking images from the Hubble telescope and several other sources and placing them in a virtual 3-D space, corresponding to our viewing vantage point [from Earth].
http://gizmodo.com/5707183/these-are-all-the-known-galaxies-in-the-universevideo shows all the known galaxies of the Universe, zooming out from the Milky Way to the limits of All We Can See So Far. And rejoice, for each of these galaxies contain billions of stars and trillion of worlds.

The SDSS is the most ambitious astronomical survey ever undertaken. It provides a 3-dimensional map of about a million galaxies and quasars. As the survey progresses, the data are released to the scientific community and the general public in annual increments.
