Val, the creator of the star chart, says:
Hi there! This is Val, I made the star chart. There’s a little ‘about’ blurb you can open in a modal on the site, but I wanted to mention that this demo uses the amazing GAIA DR3 dataset from ESA.
Another user notes:
Just FYI the sizes of the planets, stars, and their orbits are not to scale at all. To get an idea of how empty space is, there are 63,360 inches in a mile, and 63,239 astronomical units in a light-year.
Technical Details
The star chart is a valuable resource for those interested in astrophotography and stellar navigation.
