The Pleiades dataset combines Gaia and Hipparcos stars with the surrounding Milky Way dust cloud. Foreground dust scatters the bright stars' light; wider cirrus is faintly lit by Galactic starlight, and the full field dims and reddens background stars. The page opens from Earth's direction. Positions, images and lighting stay fixed while the camera turns.
Member reddening and Gaia constrain placement near 136 pc. Edenhofer and Leike provide broad depth information; WISE, Spitzer and IRIS constrain structure on the sky. Published B-star parameters and Draine grains supply single-scattering light, with the modified-MMP Galactic field at U = 1. The NOIRLab optical image checks the result; it does not supply dust texture. The depth input retains 32,657 native-extracted samples. Sources, processing and assumptions: Pleiades, dust model.
Limits: cloud thickness and infrared-derived mass are uncertain; bright-star depths are adopted. Fixed Earth-reference lighting and finite billboards approximate other viewpoints; a large element can clip visible support on the opposite phone orbit. Galaxy S23 drag is 10–14 fps below dust off, with coast near parity; both conditions contain dropped/partial-frame reporter records. The slowdown is GPU-side; its cause and a recorded 131 ms command-buffer flush remain unresolved. On iPad, mean RAF drag pacing is about 4 fps lower; opening coast is about 46 versus 57 fps, with substantial variation. RAF gaps are not hardware dropped-frame counts. Native iPad screens show faint straight-edged dark boundaries in the Earth view; that visual check remains open.
The source recipe reproduces the retained geometry, foreground RGBA, cirrus bytes and stellar attenuation exactly. An empty destination restores all 14 runtime files and 25 numerical inputs from R2.
Clean: full typecheck, color spelling, hash placement, literal styles, prepared delivery, architecture, affected renderer/objects/site tests, shipped-form checks and production site build.
