Nice to combine with the Astrological CPU Scheduler: https://github.com/zampierilucas/scx_horoscope

Very, very distantly related to the topic, but it reminded me of the Cosmo Phase watch from Casio (CGW-50), released in the 80s [0]

Having stars and planets at your fingertips...

Well done, any plans to show other space objects too? Like the ISS or Starlink? One thing I ran into when tracking satellites in the browser: CelesTrak's TLE files skip satellites with six-digit catalog numbers, which is most of what's been launched lately, so new Starlinks just weren't there. Their CSV files have them tho.

Regardless of whether it’s useful or not, the level of creative intelligence is impressive

I think these kind of projects are great for stress testing terminal performance as well.

Saving one memory...

I took note of your suggestion, next time I will write the README in the voice of da-luce/astroterm README.

Seems pretty average to me. What is it you specifically like?

(Curious as someone who struggles to write readmes)

Could this be set up as dynamic motd in the terminal?

Similar concept but for a social network: gno.world

ASCII-rendered visuals looks pretty decent.

After reading the first sentence, I cannot stop imagining some Rust people cannot stop salivating at the prospect to a version saying, "written in Rust", "safe", etc. ~

Not really. One example image has Capella, Rigel, and Sirius clearly marked. But even with that, I can not make out Orion, probably the most recognizable constellation behind the big dipper.

I would absolutely love a terminal Stellarium alternative, but this isn't it.
