Not sure what this would be. Ive seen it for years and thought it was just a weirdly rectangular cluster of stars. What do you guys think?
They're the Plieades. For future reference you can check on what's in the sky with software like Stellarium.

‘Limited' UFO disclosure believed to be used soon as a strategy of deception as end times Bible prophecy being fulfilled indicates. The truth about the future and how to be prepared.
We have been experiencing distress and perplexity of nations upon the earth unlike anything in modern history. There have been record hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, and flooding globally which appears to relate to “the sea and the waves roaring” and according to research using the Stellarium Astronomy Software, this was a one time alignment on September 23, 2017 involving the sun, moon, and stars that accurately matches the reading of Revelation 12:1-2 word-for-word, the last book of the Bible foretelling the end of the age.

Floating Feature: A Sky Built Before Us - The History Of The Stars
I did a bit of poking around using Stellarium and found two stars that I thought were admirable candidates, and I wasn't sure why Nell and Ruggles didn't think so: Phecta and Megrez, Gamma and Delta Ursae Majoris. These are the two stars that make the left side of the 'scoop' of the big dipper. According to Stellarium they were at their closest to being in a north-south alignment in the year -2586, that is 2587 BCE, with right ascensions differing by just 1.28 s (0.00036°). They were 15° and 20° from the pole at the time.

I'd like to share my personal web project. Those who are into astronomy might wanna see this.
But if you need an API i think stellarium.org has an one.

Portable, cross-platform, reliable 3D library?
If I wanted to build an app like Stellarium, displaying a 3D model, but not requiring fast animation, not a game, more visualization, what libraries should I be considering for the display/UI portion of this program?

Building the DirectX shader compiler better than Microsoft?
And wgpu has been doing this for years. Things like descriptor indexing are not exposed to the web but used by Rust (mostly) engines on native.

Show HN: WebGPU Particles Simulation
IIRC it was delayed multiple times. I think the first intent to ship from chrome was before 100 but they kept pushing it off. Firefox still does not support it. There are projects like wgpu[0] that wrap provide a higher level API and I have used some projects using it with no issues. WFIW I didn't see any issue with OP's demo either.

There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig?
There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig? wgpu.rs is an abstraction on top of Vulkan, Metal, DirectX, etc...
What are some alternatives?
