3DGalaxyMap is a 3D representation of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. It contains an overview map of the Milky Way Galaxy, as seen from above and a map of the Orion Arm (where our Sun is located) showing its major structures. The Orion Arm map is divided into navigable 10 parsec sectors, where you can explore stars. It contains a total of 106697 known stars and 275 exoplanets. Exoplanet orbits can be observed by increasing and decreasing the speed. You can rotate/zoom/pan within each of the scenes for a better view.
The user can move the sector cube on any of the 3 axis (x,y,z) and enter it. A map of the stars in the sector will appear. The user can select any star from the list or by clicking them in the scene. There is also the possibility of viewing all the stars with known exoplanets in the current sector.
