avicted··on Show HN: Galaxy visualization using Redshift data (Raylib, C)
Thank you!

Hi!

Regarding point 3: You are correct! the galaxies are in fact clustered together in space. These groups are called gravitationally bound clusters.

Best regards,

Victor

Hi!

Thank you!

I added a variation of your good solution to the main branch.

Unfortunately this is what is possible to render with only celestial coordinates as input data. I'm looking into getting redshift at data right now, so that I could have the camera at the center of the earth and looking out from earth at different galaxies with different distances and brightness.

Hi!

Thank you for the criticism! My input data only contains celestial coordinates: - Right ascension in arcminutes - Declination in arcminutes

I can perhaps try to get some redshift data and implement the 3D position for each galaxy. Great idea! Thank you!
