Project Hail Mary Navigation Chart

TL;DR

A 3D star map visualizer built for sci-fi nerds who want to track the actual stellar path from Andy Weir's book using real astronomical data.

Who is this actually for?

Hardcore space enthusiasts and Project Hail Mary fans who want to visualize Tau Ceti and the surrounding stars in their browser.

The Good

  • Uses actual Gaia mission data for accuracy instead of just random space graphics.
  • Lightweight GitHub Pages implementation that loads fast without a bunch of bloated tracking scripts.

The Catch (Potential Downsides)

Zero utility for anyone who hasn't read the book. It is a niche fan project that likely lacks deep interactive features beyond basic rotation and zooming.
