These maps are based on NASA imagery and elevation data. They include adjusted
colors and reconstructed areas, so these website illustrations are not raw
spacecraft photographs. Venus uses its cloud-covered atmosphere map.
The public source mirror used for the build is recorded in sources.json.

Pluto is included as a visual theme as requested, alongside the eight planets
and the Moon. This interface is not a scientific classification or scale model.

Changes by FlitFancy: orthographic spherical projection, chosen viewing angles,
diffuse directional lighting, Earth cloud composition, Saturn ring geometry and
occlusion, transparent background, downsampling and WebP encoding. Globe sizes
are adapted for readability, not astronomical scale. Pluto is viewed from the
northern hemisphere to avoid the source map's unmapped southern polar region.

Rebuild: node scripts/render-planets.cjs <texture-cache-directory>
Requires Node.js with sharp available. Build-time processing only; the website
loads local WebP files without third-party network requests or live 3D rendering.
