Zenith: the real sky above you, right now
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Passion Edition What I Built The theme was passion, and mine has always been the sky and everything beyond it. Day or night, there's a specific kind of awe in remembering that the sky isn't a backdrop. It's real, it's happening right now, and every point of light is an actual place. Night is simply when you can see the most of it. I wanted to put that feeling into a browser tab. Zenith takes your location, cinematically lowers you from orbit down onto your exact spot on Earth, and becomes a first-person view of your real sky, one you can drag to look around. Every star is where it actually is. The Sun, the Moon, and the visible planets are computed for your latitude, longitude, and this exact minute, and placed where they truly are. It isn't a fixed picture either: the whole sky rotates slowly in real time, so stars rise and set while you watch. Tap any object and you travel to it. The camera flies out through the real starfield, the object grows from a point into a detailed close-up, and a short, grounded briefing appears telling you what you're actually looking at, from where you're standing, right now. A warm voice reads it to you. Stay a while and Zenith reminds you that there are people over your head: it shows how many humans are in space this moment, by name, and draws the real International Space Station crossing your sky whenever it's above your horizon. Not information about space. The quiet, enormous wonder of looking up and knowing, for a moment, exactly what you're looking at.
