More clickable filters?

Also, actual planet orientation is nice but manually being able to rotate them to see full details would be nice. Some planets and moons rotate very slowly and some are orbitally locked.

Very glad you are doing this. I believe once it is a truly impressive feature it will draw some big brains to this site.
