About the project
A terminal planetarium written in C: renders real-time positions of stars, planets, constellations and Moon phases as ASCII art right in the command line. Configurable by date, time and observer coordinates.
Useful for
- View the star map above a chosen city for a specific date
- Use as an animated ASCII screensaver in the terminal
- Check the Moon phase and planet visibility for a given moment

Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-30 (UTC), 03:46–04:30: 2106 → 2118 stars (+12). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +43 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 1 per day.
- Hacker News: “Astroterm: A Planetarium for Your Terminal” — 33 points, 1 day ago.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 39. +225% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
