Proper motion approximation 3D simulation of proper motions under an approximation of linear motion for stars with proper motions and radial velocities. 3D simulation of proper motions under an approximation of linear motion for stars with proper motions and radial velocities.

Recent improvements of HippLiner… Actually, currently working and almost finished. Star color Star color Using black body radiation and CIE XYZ color matching functions Using black body radiation and CIE XYZ color matching functions Relativity theory effect Relativity theory effect Doppler shift Doppler shift Aberration Aberration Proper time Proper time Originally 0 th magnitude.

Data needed for future plan Infrared, radio wave data of the space is needed. For 60 second journey to α Centaur, % of light speed is required For 60 second journey to α Centaur, % of light speed is required With high speed, stars become darker. With high speed, stars become darker. Point light source with originally 0 th magnitude (V) for each temperature.
