Astronomy and Actionscript

Again I stray from strict design and illustration development to spend more time trying out actionscript, and again I return to one of my favorite subjects– astronomy. Similar to the simple interactive distance map I made several months ago, these are virtual 3d maps of the bright stars within 1000 and 25 light years. I’m hoping to add more to the design later, but I’ve posted the early drafts of the 1000ly and 25ly maps for perusal.
