Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Mission to reach and operate at the focal region of the solar gravitational lens
hmm.. right.. if the angle of deflection is low and the star is close enough that its light and deflected light show up very close together. My intuition is this is not the case... remember Eddington's test of relativity was for deflection of starlight around our Sun. We're really close, yet it was observable with the moon obscuring the main sunlight.
the article[1] says "For light grazing the surface of the sun, the approximate angular deflection is roughly 1.75 arcseconds." So, what, we take the arcsin of 1.75 arcseconds to get the apparent divergence ratio, and multiply that by distance to stars? As long as that value is larger than the aperture of your camera, then you don't get competing light? Or maybe you'd need something like the TESS satellite, where you have a screen specially created to only allow certain beam transits into your detector.
I've worked with a nearest 10k stars database (https://celestiary.github.io/#sun) and the edge of that is about 2k light years away. So very roughly, let's say there's 1/8th of those in a certain direction... so you get.. what? some 2k sample points towards some distant object? But really most of them wouldn't deflect that object's light towards Earth, but usually over or undershoot.
Don't really know how to put these together quickly, but is giving me some good food for thought!

Stellarium Astronomy Software
Thanks! Hmm.. not sure about that. I'm trying to jam it all around but can't get it to lock like that. If you can repro I'd appreciate a bug report! https://github.com/celestiary/web/issues

Open Source Mission Control Software from NASA
Hmm, the demo has a little "live video" window of a rover's view from the Moon's surface. This seems like a good integration point for a web-based space simulator. I will be doing just this!
