MapTheCloudsDay 27. First star map experiment 🌌
Simple globe built from HYG star database. Each point = star, sized by brightness. Limited to magnitude < 8 for legibility.
D3 handled data processing + coordinate transformation. Versor managed rotation.
First attempts at spatial viz beyond geography. Not continents, but constellations. Question: how represent distance in light-years?
Sometimes early constraints become foundations for deeper work.
