Here is a local copy of the main animation:

3D rendering of our data which morphs into an animated fly-through of the galaxy string (mpg, 8Mb)

The animation uses data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope (at Siding Spring Observatory) and the Blanco Telescope (at Cerro Tololo Observatory), and should be credited to NASA.
