## Description

AstroRender is a Chrome extension that simulates a beautiful star field by rendering 40,000 stars up to magnitude 8 with realistic brightness. While it is not a full astronomy tool—lacking labels, planets, or deep-space objects—it offers a relaxing experience of flying through the stars with smooth rotation and zoom controls. This demo serves as part of ongoing work on more comprehensive astronomy applications and provides an engaging visual exploration of constellations in a simple, distraction-free interface.
