  • What should our priorities be? Is there another list we of tickets that we need to work through?
  • Do we have a team board that we can use? Or should we come up with our own?

Questions for anyone familiar w/ Exoplanetarium3D

• noticing we aren't pulling data from any source, just hardcoding the planets
  • What is the plan for data pipeline? How should we begin facilitating this?

• Adding light (thus shadows) to make things more realistic
  • ambient light
  • center-point of light
  • we currently have hemisphere light
  • what is the strategy for coming up with our textures? What aspects are we looking to improve?
