And definitely try to figure out how to get the windows to auto-close. As it is, it looks really sloppy. But if you can't figure that out, you can't figure that out. Not like I could do any better.

Also, maybe disable the pointing animation when one window is already open...because as it is, I can have Halcyon open, but the thing pointing to Brandenburg, etc.

I don't mean to be nitpicking or anything, and I think it looks great so far, but I think you should focus on keeping it as clear as possible at all possible times. Since the assignment is to make a map with information, there shouldn't be any point where the locations are at all ambiguous.

I think ideally you'd incorporate some kind of zoom function, so that when I click on Halcyon, Halcyon is highlighted and then zoomed into. And then when I close the window or click on something else, it zooms back out to the nebula, and then zooms into the next thing I click on. As it is, the whole thing is kind of static, and that might help. But that might be beyond the scope of this project.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

My grade is in the book. I do not think I will continue this any further, since I have no real incentive. ;) But thank you for your advice. When I do my next project, I will try to incorporate it.
