planet view with polar space (read/imaginary number)

Movie: play MP4 image00



for planets, polar axis viewer is needed


in contrast, usual map use XY (or XYZ) space with Euclidean coordinates


objects move in XY paramters for Euclidean axis
X and Y has value from 0 to 1 (when normalized)
Z has value of absolute height


for Euclidean, X,Y and Z is used
for polar axis, planet use alpha and beta
alpha has value from -3.14 to 3.14
and beta has value from 0 to 3.14 for real number, and from -3.14 to 0 imaginary


by using complex-number, calculation can be minimized


planet STL and texture files can be made from open-source NASA data


texture use UV axis


Saturn


Earth


small planet


fun for space flight!
