The link does not seem to be working

It worked for me, but lagged and froze so much I couldn't actually navigate it.

Yeah, sorry. it's a bit slow and you probably need a high speed link. The site might be very busy too as it was only released a couple of days ago. There is a press release here: http://aktuell.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/pm2015/pm00143.html.en Also a Mail Online piece here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3283239/The-biggest-picture-galaxy-46-BILLION-pixel-interactive-image-Milky-Way-revealed.html Probably lots of other places too if you google it
