Maybe someone smarter than me could add stars to the night sky, so it's not just black.

I was just thinking about how to slice up a star map projection, and apply it as an overlay. I don’t do such things often enough to do it quickly, although I can imagine how it could be achieved. I’d imagine someone working in game dev probably could whip up a mechanism for applying coordinates to a star map fairly quickly, but realizing it in pure CSS would probably require exporting all the slices to a folder as SVG squares that are labeled with coordinates, and then using a bit of JS to stitch it all together in the rendered page.
