Project: 3D Images of Nearby Stars

This 3D image generator will first create a 3D figure of the nearby stars. It will show the whole view of the part of space that is near Earth. You can zoom in and zoom out of the 3D figure. Then if you click one star, it will give back two maps. The first map will show the whole view of the nearby stars for the chosen star. That means it will show you the pattern of stars you would see if you were standing on that star. Then the second map will show the coordinates of the nearby stars. When the "Click" button is on, it allows you to click one star, and it will give back two maps for that chosen star. But when the "Click" button isn't on, you can only select the star from the "star" dropdown menu.
