Winchell Chung (aka Nyrath the nearly wise) maintains this ambitious 3-D starmap project dedicated to the golden age of science fiction and real astronomical data. Inspired by E.E. 'Doc' Smith's classic space operas, the site blends scientific accuracy with a deep love of the stars to create interactive three-dimensional maps of nearby stellar neighborhoods.

Star Shadows Remote Observatory (SSRO) was a cooperative astro-imaging venture cofounded by Rick Gilbert, Jack Harvey, Steve Mandel, and John Pierce, producing deep-sky images from New Mexico and Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile from 2004 to 2018. The archived site offers access to their gallery, equipment details, and documents from over a decade of collaborative astrophotography.
