I built a true-scale atlas of the universe (8.4M real stars) in about a week with Fable

A developer named Chris Zaharia recently used Anthropic's Fable model to build an interactive, true-scale atlas of the universe. Per the Adafruit Blog, the atlas renders eight point four million real stars from astronomical data, two point six million galaxies at their true distances, and planets on real orbits. Zaharia completed the entire project in just over a week, with Fable handling most of the code, the complex orbital mechanics, and debugging from visual links. The atlas went live on Wednesday at universeatlas.org.
