Vela constellationIn 3D

See how Vela constellation looks in space.

Note: Constellations are plotted as they appear from Equinox J2000 coordinates. Align the Sun (Orange dot) close to the center to view the stars like they appear on earth. Constellations with stars close to the Earth like Canis Major are hard to be viewed from Earth perspective due to the limited point of view of the graphing area. However the stars can be explored as they are plotted with the right co-ordinates.
