I built Zenith: a live local-first fixed viewport planetarium (smorgasb.org)

This is fantastic. I love how it makes Earth’s rotation feel immediate and visceral with zero equipment. The controls and overlays are really well thought out. It would be cool to have a search box to jump to a specific star or coordinate, even if most things in the ribbon are obscure.

This is an interesting concept. I also like the idea of projecting onto a ceiling of a room. It is always surprising the first time you try using an non-tracking telescope to see how fast the earth is turning. This gives you that without a telescope being necessary.

I block location requests, so it's just showing me the default location as Stonehenge. It would be interesting to allow the user to manually add location coords.

I _LOVE_ watching the moon transit my view port in my telescope. Love being reminded of this movement. The bigger planets are fun too.
