Users are discussing the Project Hail Mary stellar navigation chart, with some saying:
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.
Others are talking about the scale of the chart, saying:
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.

For anyone who enjoys this, exploration in ‘Elite: Dangerous’ might be enjoyable for you as well. From the wiki: Elite Dangerous has a 1:1 scale simulation of the Milky Way galaxy based on real-life scientific principles, scientific data and theories.
