Seeing Stars
Of course, no solar-system model would be complete without some nice stars in the
background, would it? Up to this point all of the examples have been small enough to
print their entirety here in the text, but now that will change just a bit as we add a simple
star field in the background. The difference is largely in the database required that you
will need to fetch from the Apress web site, because it will contain just over 500 stars
down to a magnitude of 4.0 as well as an additional database containing constellation
outlines and names for a number of the more prominent groupings.
