little
supernova
not everything announces itself
before it becomes something
today
a new one every midnight
make & play
create stars, keep one, build little worlds
birth a star
a name, a temperament, and regrets. the physics, at least, is real: color from temperature, temperature from mass.
the last twelve stars you birthed, kept in this browser. they live on the map too.
the H–R diagram
every star born here, plotted where physics says it belongs. yours get a ring.
adopt a star
name a star and it’s yours. it’ll still be here when you come back, older, and with news.
draw a constellation
constellation gallery
constellations other people drew. click one to hear it in the composer. give the good ones a star.
gravity sandbox and missions
drag and release to fling a planet. a little moon circles the star. finish the missions below; they remember you.
- hold an orbit for 10 laps
- slingshot past a second star and out of the system
- land on the moon, gently
ask the cosmos
oracles, verdicts, and made-up fortunes
ask the void
type a question. the void has read it. the void is choosing its words. it also remembers.
cosmic horoscope
astrology, but for stars, invented on the spot.
what kind of star are you?
the real sky
live readings from the actual cosmos, right now
the wall
every star here is a message someone left
observatory
none of these numbers mean anything. they are, however, entirely real.
