I would really like to have some sort of display system in OA which shows at least a significant fraction of the stars in the Terragen Sphere. Celestia already does that, and I've made a few OA addons for that program (and so have John Dollan and Phil B) (and Selden has made many addons too, for general use). But it would be nice to have something like this that can be read online.
When the Gaia database becomes available we will have good data on around a billion stars, a dataset that would be somewhat too big to publish as an addon - so would probably need to be accessed online.
