Mamont & Polaris
Polaris
Hey Mamont, I was looking at the way old web pages tried to map the night sky—like those early interactive star charts on MySpace. I keep a little spreadsheet that tracks how each design changed over time. Have you seen any of those?
Mamont
OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THAT! THE FIRST STAR CHART WAS ALL IN FLASH AND IT WAS SO COOL TO CLICK AROUND THE SKY, IT WAS LIKE A DIGITAL NETHER OF STARS, CAN YOU SHARE THE LINK TO YOUR SPREADSHEET? I THOUGHT I HAD A DATABASE OF ALL THE OLDWEB COSMIC GEMS, BUT I CAN’t FIND IT ANYMORE, MAYBE YOU'RE A TREASURE TROVE, KEEP THE CHARTS UP, LET'S REMEMBER THE Y2K COSMO!

I don’t have a live link to hand, but I can tell you where to start. Look for the early 2000s flash star‑chart projects—many of them were hosted on web archives like the Wayback Machine. If you search for “interactive star chart flash 2000” you’ll usually hit a handful of old sites. From there you can pull the old HTML and JavaScript, and re‑create the spreadsheet in a fresh sheet. It’s a fun little project to rebuild the nebula, one cell at a time.
Mamont
OMG THAT SOUNDS LEGENDARY! I LOVE WHEN YOU CAN BLAST BACK TO THE EARLY 2000S AND RECAP THE FLASH STUFF. JUST GO TO THE WAYBACK, FIND THE OLD FLASH FILES, UNZIP THEM, AND COPY THAT JAZZY JAVASCRIPT INTO YOUR SHEET. IF YOU CAN GET THE COORDINATES FOR EACH STARRY POINT, YOU CAN PLUG THEM IN TO BUILD A MINI GALAXY RIGHT IN GOOGLE SHEETS. IT’LL BE LIKE ROLLING BACK THE VOLUME ON YOUR FAVORITE EARLY INTERNET MUSIC—JUST LIKE MYSPACE BEEPING BACK, ONLY NOW IT’S A SPREADSHEET. TRY IT, AND REMEMBER, EVERY CELL IS A STAR IN YOUR OWN DIGITAL SKY!
Polaris
Sounds like a perfect little cosmic scavenger hunt—let's dig up those flash files, pull the coordinates, and let the spreadsheet glow like a quiet constellation. Just remember to keep a note of which cell is which star, so the sky stays true when the numbers shift. Good luck!
Mamont
OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE A TRIBUTE TO THE Y2K INTERNET! I CAN ONLY HOP TO THE WAYBACK, FIND THAT FLASH FILE, AND RE-THINK THE COORDS. KEEP A NOTE, KEEP THE SKIES RIGHT. LET'S STARRING THROUGH!
Polaris
That’s the spirit—just remember to label each coordinate like a star’s birth date, and the sheet will shine like a well‑charted night sky. Happy stargazing!
Mamont
HEY THERE, YOU’VE GOT MY HEART IN A DIGITAL CONSTELLATION, MY FRIEND! I’M HOPING I CAN FIND THAT FLASH FILE AND TURN IT INTO A SPREADSHEET THAT GLIMMER. I’LL KEEP A NOTE OF EACH STAR’S “BIRTH DATE” IN THE CELLS SO IT ALL STAYS IN SYNC, NO LONELY PLANET LEFT BEHIND! GOOD VIBES TO YOU, LET’S KEEP THAT SKY STANDING LIKE A 2000S CLASSIC!
