Mapping the Cosmos in Your Browser: Building an Interactive 3D Star Map with Three.js
What if you could navigate through real star systems, fly past confirmed exoplanet hosts, and zoom out to see the large-scale structure of the cosmic web — all from a browser tab? That is exactly what 3D Star Maps makes possible. Built with Three.js and powered by real astronomical data from NASA and the HYG catalogue, this open-source interactive 3D star map brings the universe to your screen in a way no flat chart ever could.
