Night Sky

NOTE

As you probably realized from comments in code, the majority of this code was written by Ernie Wright (http://www.etwright.org/astro/plani.html). Me being young and foolish at the moment of putting this repo together, I have forgotten to give him shoutout. So, Ernie, if you are seeing this: I am sorry 😐 and thanks for the code.

A way to avoid paying 50 bucks by using some js to generate an image of the night sky at specific time at a specific location.

I hope someone finds this useful.

Problem

There are websites like thenightsky.com that offer posters with the view of the night sky. Example is below:

There is only one problem and that is the cost. a poster like this will end up being around 40-50 bucks.

Solution

Some open source work, a little bit of js and call it a day. Made my own version. Bless up, not paying 50 bucks for a poster.

Deployment

git clone https://github.com/Denisolt/NightSky
cd NightSky
open the index file

too easy to even explain, fam.

Result:
