A Java program is presented which extracts star positions from the Hipparcos main catalogue and places them into a sphere collection rendered in a X3D, VRML97 or HTML file. The main options to the executable are a cut-off distance to some center of the scene (the sun by default) and labeling some or all of the spheres with common names, Henry Draper numbers or Hipparcos ID's.
Comments: 42 Pages. Version 2 supports creating X3D or HTML files.
