Research direction

Start in the Ikuchi class and inspect the onChangePlanet method and its oPlanetObject transformation. Adjust the z-axis scaling when the planet name changes in the GUI, then verify that each selected planet is displayed as a biaxial ellipsoid with the expected polar flattening.

Description

enhancement good first issue

Planets can be represented by biaxial ellipsoids to account for polar flattening. Planet objects should be modified when the planet name changes in the GUI and this is done in the onChangePlanet method in the Ikuchi class. The object oPlanetObject in the Ikuchi class can just have it's transformation adjusted so that there is a scaling in the z direction.
