The moving image is a rendering of a 3D-tour through a set of star locations.
The stars are colored in tour order; the hue of each point represents its position in the tour.
The image is interactive. With a mouse you can zoom in and out, pressing the left and right buttons.
On a phone or tablet, zoom by pinching, orbit with a one-finger swipe, and pan with a two-finger swipe.
You can zoom with a mouse (or the W and S keys) and pan with the arrow keys (or with A, D, F, and R).
Click "Open Controls" at the top of the image to display a menu to change the rotation speed or point size, hide the tour line, and zoom in and out.
