This is a teaching tool I use all the time in my astronomy classes. It helps students to realize that there are a variety of star systems that exist in the universe. This tool also shows the color and temperature of stars. The color of stars can be a challenge to see in the night sky, so this visualization helps provide a different perspective.
Be sure to check out this awesome learning tool and share your thought about it in the comments section below!
