Interactive maps

Ilanthar of the Cartographers Guild has been posting some beautiful maps of his Resurgence stellar system in the threads https://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=38300 and https://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=38449

Although the maps that he's published have been static images, they give the impression that they're screengrabs from an interactive information display system. With his permission, I've started implementing a simplified version of that system, using Celestia as the platform.

Several Celestia Addons which add interactive features to his maps are now available on the Web at https://www.classe.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/resurgence/

Here are a few screengrabs:
