I wrote a program in the Perl programming language. Its purpose was to allow the user to select one of several sectors in space once done a window would open with a graphic representation of the different stars, constellations, and other space items in the given sector. These would show up as circles of different colors and shapes based on the type of object and magnitude. Moving the mouse over any circle would displays the name, type, magnitude, and the location (in declination hours and minutes, and the radian hours and minutes) of the object that the mouse is pointing at. Furthermore clicking on an object in the representation opens another window that displays an actual image of the stellar object downloaded by the program off of the web.
