This map visualizes real star measurements from ESA Gaia data. Positions are shown in 3D around the Sun in parsecs, based on observed astrometry and photometry.
Most points are real stars from Gaia DR3.
Coordinates are rendered as X/Y/Z in parsecs from Sol.
Brightness and color are derived from catalog values (magnitude and color index).
Known stars and known black holes are highlighted for navigation.
