Observatories, planetariums, science museums, and research institutions get a custom licensing package built around your infrastructure, audience size, and display requirements, not a one-size tier.
STEN renders stars at any resolution. Planetarium domes, multi-screen walls, and 4K visitor kiosks are all supported configurations.
Remove TheStarDB branding from embeds. Add your facility name, logo, and color scheme. Your public space, your identity.
Lock the interface to a curated star list, a single constellation, or a guided tour sequence. No distractions for general visitors.
16 million real stars with spectral type, magnitude, distance, and 3D position. Everything your researchers and docents need.
Full API access at your data tier. Pull live star data into your exhibits, mobile apps, planetarium control systems, or research pipelines.
We'll run a training session for your staff and provide documentation tailored to how your facility will actually use STEN.
Planetarium lobby kiosk: A touchscreen display running STEN in kiosk mode, locked to the current night's featured stars and constellations. Visitors explore before the show.
Dome full-sphere rendering: STEN's 3D star field output piped to a fisheye projection system for full-dome shows. Custom tour sequences through the Gaia catalog programmed in advance.
Research institution data pipeline: API access to the 16M star catalog with spectral type, luminosity, distance, and proper motion data for integration into existing analysis workflows.
Museum interactive exhibit: Multi-touch table with STEN embedded in a custom interface, visitors navigate the night sky, zoom to any star, and explore its properties. Object collections curated by museum staff.
Observatory public night: Real-time sky display driven by your observation schedule, showing Gaia data for every object you're observing that night, magnitude, spectral type, distance, and name history.
