+
+Planetary.js is based on [D3.js](http://d3js.org/) and [TopoJSON](https://github.com/mbostock/topojson). It has built-in support for zoom, rotation, mouse interaction, and displaying animated "pings" at any coordinate. Via plugins, Planetary.js can be extended to do whatever you want!
+
+Examples, documentation, and more can be found at [planetaryjs.com](http://planetaryjs.com/).
