README

Stars Lookup retrieves physical and positional stellar data by star name or astronomical classification. Query individual stars or filter by spectral class to obtain mass in kilograms, distance in light-years, and stellar type.

The Stars Lookup API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate stars lookup functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready stars lookup capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
