A 3D map of … real stars within 50 light-years. The Sun is at the center.
Drag to rotate · scroll to zoom · WASD + R/F to fly · hover a star for its name & distance.
The tour circles the Sun close in, so the nearest stars sweep past while the distant ones drift — that parallax is the sense of depth.
