Incredible work! My son really had a blast scrolling around and exploring last night.
Did you take any inspiration from Celestia (https://celestiaproject.space)? It's been over 15 years since I last really used it (and starts with defaults not geared towards visualizing just our local solar system) but seems to have a lot of the features others have suggested. Might be useful to poke around and see how they solved things like time adjustments, selecting POIs, etc.

ShaderConductor
ShaderConductor is a tool designed for cross-compiling HLSL to other shading languages
I think this is the way forward for shading languages.
I'm writing a simple renderer with an OpenGL, Metal and Vulkan backend. I avoid using any shader transpiler such as Microsoft's ShaderConductor [0], as this adds a huge dependency to the project. As a hacky solution I'm simply maintaining a copy for each shading language (Metal Shading Language, GLSL, etc.). For a focused non-gaming project that seems easier.
However, having a compiler that compiles a subset of the programming language I'm using for a project (such as Rust or C++) to the individual shading languages, sounds amazing, and would make shader writing when not using a game engine more joyful.

Project mention: Nvidia to join Dow Jones Industrial Average, replacing rival chipmaker Intel | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-02
Here’s a list of projects
https://www.khronos.org/
If I were to categorize the successful ones:
glTF, KTX, SPIR-V, OpenGL and its variants, WebGL
People will say Vulkan but it has the same level of adoption as OpenCL, and has the same issue that it competes against vendor specific APIs (DX and Metal) that are just better to use. It’s still used though of course as a translation target but imho that doesn’t qualify it as a success.
OpenCL was and is a failure of grand magnitude. As was colada.
