💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with alphaSco 
Create a Python-based desktop application called 'StellarGuide' that utilizes the 'alphaSco' package to provide users with detailed information about stars, focusing on the Alpha Sco (Rigol) star system as a primary example. The application should allow users to input specific star names and retrieve information such as distance from Earth, luminosity, spectral type, and any notable events or discoveries related to the star. Additionally, the app should feature a graphical representation of the star's position in the sky based on user location and time. 

Key Features:
- User Input: Allow users to enter star names.
- Information Retrieval: Display key details about the entered star using data provided by the 'alphaSco' package.
- Visualization: Show the star's location in the night sky relative to the user's geographical location and current date/time.
- Educational Content: Include short descriptions about the star's significance in astronomy.

How to Utilize 'alphaSco':
- Use the 'alphaSco' package to fetch accurate and up-to-date astronomical data regarding the selected star.
- Integrate this data into your application to dynamically update information and visualizations based on user inputs.
