Implemented an interactive 3D galaxy visualization using React Three Fiber, Three.js, and Framer Motion.
Each galaxy represents a core topic, with orbiting planets as subtopics. Clicking a galaxy zooms in, reveals planets, and displays floating info cards.
This feature aligns with Spiritual Data’s mission of bringing deeper insights closer to people in an engaging visual form.

├─ CameraController.tsx # Smooth camera lerp, centering, zoom & awaken animation
├─ Galaxy.tsx # Single galaxy visual: core, halo, ring, tooltip + pointer events
├─ GalaxyData.ts # Static source for galaxy metadata (id, name, planets[], colors)
├─ GalaxyScene.tsx # Orchestrator: Canvas, galaxies, selection, planet spawning, offsets
├─ Planet.tsx # Orbiting planet: emergence, motion, bobbing, hover & click-to-info
├─ PlanetInfoCard.tsx # 2D info card (Framer Motion) rendered outside Canvas
├─ Pulse.tsx # Short-lived pulse effect on galaxy discovery
├─ SceneLights.tsx # Ambient, directional, and point lights

🛠 Tech Stack / Dependencies
--three.js — 3D engine
--@react-three/fiber — React renderer for three.js
--@react-three/drei — helpers (Stars, Html, etc.)
--framer-motion — 2D modal animations (PlanetInfoCard)
--TypeScript with @types/three for type safety
Safety & Review Notes
-->All 3D logic contained inside src/components/GalaxyScene/
-->Planet placement tunable in GalaxyScene.tsx without touching per-frame math
-->2D modal explicitly outside Canvas avoids R3F DOM pitfalls
-->Safe to merge; isolated feature branch
