The aim of this project is to display all of the stars in the neighbourhood of the sun, and to enable sensible queries to be asked by the user.
The basic data will come from the Gliese online catalog of around 7000 stars in the solar neighbourhood out to 25 parsecs, together with information on multiple star systems provided by the Wooley catalog, both of which I have. There are several other catalogues available, and they may also be used. Of particular interest are the many nearby stars which are now known to have planets orbiting them.
