  • stellarium

    Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It is available for Linux/Unix, Windows and macOS. With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope.

  • 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?

  • wgpu

    Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
