Given a single-line description of a star in a particular format, creates and returns a Star object. The given string consists of six or seven parts separated by semicolons. Here is an example with seven parts:

0.020891;0.991435;0.128917;39801;0.45;2061;BETELGEUSE

The parts are, in order:

1. the x coordinate of the star
2. the y coordinate of the star
3. the z coordinate of the star (ignored by this method)
4. the Henry Draper number of the star (used by this method as the star’s ID)
5. the magnitude of the star
6. the Harvard Revised number of the star (an alternative ID ignored by this method)
7. (optional; may be missing) the name of the star

This method assumes that the first six parts appear in any input provided. If the optional seventh part is missing, as in the example below, the star is unnamed.

0.015817;0.296915;-0.954773;39810;6.54;2062

Reads in a star map from the files in a given folder. The folder is expected to contain at least a file that lists all the visible stars (one per line as specified under parseStarInfo). If there are any other files in the folder, each of those files is expected to define a constellation: the name of the file names the constellation, and each line of text within specifies a single line of the constellation by listing the names of two stars separated by a comma.

The default name of the file within a star map folder that contains a list of all the visible stars.
