Births. Each new block, the rarity of its first sat (ordinal theory) lights a lasting star that pulses and fades.
Transits. Every unconfirmed mempool transaction streaks across as a shooting star, in real time — the field breathes with the chain.
Colour → amount moved. A continuous gradient — the value of the transaction sets the hue, from tiny to whale.
Size → amount — the unambiguous read of magnitude.
Brightness & speed → fee rate (sat/vB) — paying more = brighter & faster.
Trail length & width → transaction weight (vsize).
The plasma nebula glows brighter and the field grows denser as the mempool fills — driven by live throughput (vB/s).
