I’ve made some more progress since yesterday!

Now my Stellar Focus app can pull from real data for the planets, so if you search it up you’ll see it pop up in NASA’s datasets! A real object from the cosmos…

Also, I tried to make the visuals look better, along with an animation when you click “Stop,” that looks like a blue supernova explosion, shown in one of the photos. The planets have more detail now, and they don’t have a weird looking aura anymore.

The planets are more rendered, but still it is so hard to make it look identical to the hypothetical visualization NASA offers.

Next up, I plan to add more detailed planets, a better reveal animation, and a system so that you can start collecting your planets, nebulae, and galaxies! I also want to add different POV’s, like a planet view, star view, and system view, as well as allowing the user to move through space using their mouse, so you’re not fixed at a single point.

P.S.,

I HAVE TO CHANGE THE FONT…

Any ideas or suggestions to this app?
