starLookfunction

Everything the package draws a star with, from the numbers alone: the same numbers always give the same star. Throws a RangeError that names the number when one is out of range.

The colour is the black body of temperatureK. The surface is grained by the luminosity class (and faint on hot stars, smooth on a white dwarf), spotted by activity (none on hot stars by default, many on cool dwarfs), darker toward the edge by the temperature, flattened by oblateness with hotter poles, and ringed with a soft corona. The cells and the spots are invented; parts says which parts are not.

import { starLook } from "@johnmorrisdotca/wakusei-planets";

const rigel = starLook({ name: "Rigel", temperatureK: 12100, radiusSun: 78.9, luminosityClass: "Ia", rotationDays: 25 });
console.log(rigel.colour, rigel.activity, rigel.parts.filter((part) => part.status === "illustrative").length);
