I used python and blender to precisely position (units are [parsecs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsec)!) 10000 stars from the [HYG Database](https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database). 

The star-planes are randomly rotated though, and keep in mind that the center icosphere representing the earth is exaggeratingly big - by a small factor of about 1.5 billion!!

The (short and ugly) bit of python script I used to make this visualization is available on [PasteBin](https://pastebin.com/0vhdGz59) if anyone is interested!

I am quite happy with the look of this model, stars use a transparent/emissive material mapped to the vertex colors created in blender (from each star "color index" if available in the database), and enhanced with some bloom to create halos... 

Next ideas: plot 100.000 neighbor stars, and maybe the Milky Way from ESA's [Gaia Archive](http://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/). That'd be really awesome!

119613 stars from the [HYG Database](https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database), positionned and colored by parsing the csv file in python, and creating a .ply file containing position and color information. The short python code I used is available on [Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/gsPLR2EJ).

I should still have a look at ESA's [Gaia Archive](http://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/), to map parts of the Milky Way!

I have enjoyed an excellent time with this scene. I even build a little story and added background music, so feel free to click as fast as you can when the model starts loading to provide a correct synchronization.
To obtain this result, I use a PBR configuration, 2 Spot Lights, 1 Light Point and the "Milky Way" image background as moonlight. =) In some materials was needed to adjust the Reflection, Emision, Clear Coat, Bump Mapping and Opacity. For Post Processing I used SSAO, Vignette, Bloom and Tone Mapping. Finally was needed incorporate the Anotations, put in loop the default animation and add a background inmersive sound. Was a lot of work... but I'm glad with the final result... I hope you like it. ^_^

**Milky Way Galaxy – Spiral Galaxy (3D Model)**

This model represents the Milky Way, the vast spiral galaxy that contains our solar system and billions of stars. The design focuses on capturing the galaxy’s iconic spiral arms, dense central core, and glowing star fields, while maintaining a clear, readable structure.

The swirling arms are filled with luminous dust clouds, star clusters, and cosmic glow, conveying the immense scale and motion of this massive system. The goal was to visualize the Milky Way in a way that feels both scientifically inspired and visually cinematic.

Milky Way: Spiral Galaxy

This is the Stargate from the TV series of the same name. This one in particular is the one used in the Milky Way galaxy.
This model is Game-Ready and uses PBR materials.

pusheen noodle :3 (milky way metallic)

Ancient twelve-foot hexapodal predators (four legs, two arms, canid bio-armored skulls) who mastered biotechnology by growing living spacecraft instead of building them. So technologically advanced that even Predators feared them. Bred Xenomorphs for their own purposes without honor or restraint. Left the Milky Way for another galaxy millennia ago, but their abandoned bio-cities and ships still function, maintained by their created species, the Faze. The Yautja believe the Drukathi secretly manipulate galactic events from afar to prevent other species from rivaling their power.

Interactive visualization of the fully nonlinear gravitationally induced trajectories of a nearly complete set of galaxies, groups, and clusters in the Local Supercluster constructed in a Numerical Action Method (NAM) model constrained by data from the CosmicFlows survey and various distance indicators. The Virgo, Fornax, Antlia and Virgo W clusters are represented by large spheres colored red, khaki, black, and purple, respectively. The Milky Way and M31 galaxies are shown by smaller spheres colored yellow and green, respectively. Others are colored blue. The time evolution runs from the past 13.25 billion years to present.

This interactive visualization has been produced as part of the following paper:

Action Dynamics of the Local Supercluster

The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy where the solar system and in turn the Earth are located. According to observations, it has a mass of 10¹² solar masses and, due to its shape, it is a barred spiral type galaxy, which is why it has a right-handed spin as seen from the celestial north.

This is the interactive version of the Figure 3 of the article, where orbits of galaxies, groups of galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, derived from the Numerical Action Method, are superimposed on the Local Void iso-density contours. The signpost anchored at the present Milky Way location has 5,000 km/s-long arrows pointing to the SGX (red), SGY (green), SGZ (blue) directions of the Supergalactic Coordinate System. 

A video visualization has also been produced as part of this publication and is available here: https://vimeo.com/326346346

Cosmography of the Local Void versus NAM orbits

one of the space gates from the stargate series.. 
issues: 
1) Also remembered that they are supposed to have them three power nodes, which power them and act as stabilizers to keep them in orbit. Need to add those soon. 
2) Milky way stargates were not really seen in space.. those were the Pegasus gates.. and they have totally different symbols on them
