In this world, there are three types of people: those who have gazed at the stars, those who haven't gazed at the stars, and those who live by so much light pollution (like LA) that they can't see anything in the night sky. The Beyond Earth Online Planetarium can be used as a valueable resource regardless of what type of person you are.
The Planetarium is a java applet that generates a star chart. The star chart shows approximately 900 total stars and includes information about each star's name and constellation.
If you see a blank box above, it means that the applet (61k) is still loading.
