With this app from OSR, you can visualize space by taking a tour through our galaxy. You can view 87 popular stars that have been named by astronomers, such as Alpha Centauri, Sirius, and Polaris, but you can also look up and view named stars in the Online Star Register.<\/p>\n<p>When you name a star in the Online Star Register, you can find it in One Million Stars instantly. With the OSR Code you can fly to your star and experience it fully in 3D. Want to see how that works? <a href=\"https:\/\/osr.org\/oms\/LPR805246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out one of the stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #15acdf;\">Check out our video<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The beauty and interactive nature of the One Million Stars Project has to be seen to be believed.

Of the stars within this data-base 490,932 are displayed as individual particles, each of which contain real spatial coordinates as well as the star&#8217;s spectral index which can be resolved to a star color. The data is a collection of HYG, HIPPARCOS, and the RAVE star catalogues, in addition to data from stars that have been named in the Online Star Register.<\/p>\n<p>The site uses a variety of HTML5 features that allow the web-page to be completely interactive. Features include the WebGL library THREE.js and numerous other open source libraries, such as Chance, Howler, Wagner, Ramda and Oboe. Because scientists and astronomers are always learning, and their theories and discoveries are always evolving, complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
