Hoshi Stars星

The stars you can see without a telescope, with names, colours and distances; the 88 constellations with their lines and boundaries; the Messier objects; and seven map projections to draw them on.

Hoshi is the Japanese word 星 for a star. About the name

Upgrading

What changes between versions, and how a script written for the stars in wakusei-planets moves to this package.

日本語

The package follows semantic versioning. Until 1.0 a minor version may change a name, and CHANGELOG.md lists it under Changed; a patch version never does.

0.1 and what comes next

0.1 is the first version. Each entry point is its own import: . (stars), /constellations, /lines, /boundaries, /deep-sky, /deep-sky/ngc-ic, /projection and /sky. Later versions add a Milky Way and a star-chart function, each as its own entry point; none will change what an existing one gives.

From wakusei-planets' /stars

The stars were first part of wakusei-planets. The code moved unchanged, so the functions have the same names and give the same answers: change the import from @johnmorrisdotca/wakusei-planets/stars to @johnmorrisdotca/hoshi-stars. wakusei-planets' /stars will re-export this package, and this package never imports wakusei-planets.

What a patch may change

The data. A corrected position, a name added to the list of 136, a figure changed to look better: none changes a name or a type, and a test holds every count. If a chart of yours depends on a figure's exact lines, copy the lines you want into your code.
