Love it, thank you for sharing. Can't wait to show my kids later!

Are the background stars randomly generated or do they correspond to the actual galaxy? Distant points of reference would be interesting to see.

Thank you! The background stars are a texture that I found on solarsystemscope.com, and _should_ correspond to the actual orientation of the firmament WRT your frame of reference. I'd love to add labels for salient stars.
