OrbitLens Devlog #1: Rendering the Earth 3D

I just kick started this project, Orbit Lens, and my aim is to build a
fully free, real-time 3D satellite tracker from scratch using Three.js
and maybe some other libraries. Today was all about creating the core 3D
arch. You can’t track a satellite without a planet to orbit, so Phase 1
was focused on rendering the Earth and setting up the Three.js
environment.
What I accomplished in Phase 1:

Set up my environment with ViteBuilt the Three.js scene, camera, and render loop.Rendered a 3D Earth utilizing maps from solar system scope.Enabled OrbitControls to enable camera panning
This is just the basic foundations of the project so there’ll be much more development in the future.
