Neat! Nice mobile UI too, that's always refreshing to see.

Thanks for AI disclosure up front too, I don't mind seeing AI assisted/generated demos but it's rare to see the attribution.

Sky, ocean, and surface maps are real, by the way. They’re based on real data that I took from NASA datasets/maps. Also, check out the night side of Earth—it uses a real light map/photo of Earth’s surface too. :) Even rings of Saturn is based on real data as well

I noticed that! Super slick visual and nice eye candy too. The little elevation bump on the continents is a nice touch too.

I'm on mobile and still at work but I'm excited to look through the implementation some more.
