Astrolabio is a tool developed for the Nuova Associazione Studi Astronomici. It transforms any WordPress site into an interactive astrolabe, calculating the real-time positions of stars, planets, and deep-sky objects.
- Dynamic Star Map: Real-time celestial rendering based on GPS coordinates.
- Full Mobile Support: Smooth navigation with native Touch events, including Pinch-to-Zoom and Dragging.
- Advanced Astronomy: Includes Ecliptic path, Milky Way visualization, and a complete Altazimuth grid.
- Reports: Generates high-quality, printable observation reports featuring the Association's official header.
- Automated Data Table: A dynamic list of visible celestial bodies, automatically sorted by magnitude (brightness).
- Security Hardened: Fully compliant with WordPress.org security standards (XSS protection and timezone synchronization).
- Download the repository as a ZIP file.
- Upload the
astrolabiofolder to your site's/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the WordPress Dashboard.
- Ensure the
/data/directory contains the required GeoJSON files for rendering (already included).
To display the astrolabe on any page or post, simply use the following shortcode:
[astro_observatory]
- WordPress: 5.0 or higher (Tested up to 6.9)
- PHP: 7.4 or higher
- Browser: Modern browsers with HTML5 Canvas support
