Watchface
Description
Wander the real stars. Every morning your ship starts at Sol, and every hour it hops to a nearby star - real ones, from the Hipparcos catalog: Proxima Centauri, Barnard's Star, Wolf 359, Tureis, Guniibuu, and 2,200 more systems of the 100-light-year Local Bubble, drawn in their true spectral colors. The map is a traveling 40-light-year viewport that rides the wander. The gold route sweeps to a different neighbor every minute; flick your wrist to browse the rest. When the hour strikes, the flight plays out as a twin-paradox cutscene - honest relativity at 1g: the universe ages 19 years while you age 6 on a 74-light-year run. A gold signpost always points home to Sol. By nightfall you're deep in the Bubble; at your chosen morning hour, you wake at Sol with a new day's journey ahead. It's a full watchface too: steps, distance, and heart rate beside the clock, a minute-by-minute activity sparkline of your past hour, weekday, date, and current temperature. A shake shows last night's sleep. Everything optional; the pure star chart is one toggle away. * 2,235 real star systems, names, spectral classes, and constellations included * Deterministic daily wander - miss an hour and it catches up instantly * Health data on the face; sleep on a wrist-flick; Open-Meteo weather * Configurable start-at-Sol hour and hop cadence (hourly or half-hourly) * Sibling of the Lighthaul watchface - same bones, real galaxy The physics is real: exact time dilation, honest 1g rocketry in rapidity. The twin paradox, one hop at a time.
