An interactive star map

Viewing:

  • Drag or use the arrow keys to look around, and scroll or pinch to zoom.
  • Click on a star to view its page, or if it doesn't have one, create it.
  • Press / while focused on the star map to start searching.
  • The light shaded part at the bottom is the land.

Flying around:

  • Use WASD (desktop) or the joystick (mobile) to fly around. Additionally, desktop users can use space or shift to go up/down.
  • The [ and ] keys, or the ▲ and ▼ buttons, change your speed. The au/ly buttons above them pick the unit — au for short hops, ly for the stars.
  • When you hit a star you're tracking via search, you'll stop 0.01ly away from it.

To add a star to this star map, simply use the {{#coords: parser function. For example, {{#coords: 05h 14m 32.27s -08d 12' 05.90" }}.
