Currently, there are many applications that offer information about existing stellar bodies or that simulate orbital mechanics with ludic purposes in which the scientific rigor is secondary.

The objective of this project is to create an application that displays scientifically rigorous information about stellar bodies in an attractive and interactive way.

This project is based in two main tools that allow the user to generate planetary systems to learn with it.

1. One of the tools allows the user to generate type stars within the stellar classification (H-R diagram) and the application randomly generates a realistic planetary system with a multitude of information (physical and orbital parameters, chemical composition, characteristics that would favor the existence of life, etc.). It also allows to show known star systems with much more information.
2. Another tool allows the user to freely customize all system parameters. The application informs the user of the consequences of their choices and how possible their existence would be.

Possible improvements and additional tools that could be added are:

• Add exotic star bodies (white dwarfs, brown dwarfs, pulsars, black holes, etc.)
• Comparison of scale sizes and the possibility of comparing different parameters with known values (Watts-light bulbs, mass-elephants).
• Simulate the orbital movements of the system.
• Include satellites.

The application that was developed during the event is a demo that shows an approach to the first tool that still needs a lot of work to obtain more rigorous scientific results. The data to create the planets in a scientifically rigorous way have been obtained from repositories of astronomical data and university publications. A major review and documentation work than is possible in a two-day event is needed.
