There is a beautiful map on PL killboard, i'am very interested if anyone find sources or make this.

As I can see it, the PL map is based on the 'old' map code that CCP released.
The 'new' one (which, as I see it, has become abandoned as well the day after they showed it) is available on GitHub: https://github.com/ccpgames/ccpwgl
Have a look at the examples, there is the starmap example.

Well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there for shure.

The starmap that's in the CCP web gl isn't the same as the PL one. Mostly because the webgl one from CCP has duplicated stars, and the jumps between them. I looked into using it, but with those flaws, I couldn't justify it.

It /may/ be based off what's on CCP's site but that's not the same code.

Woo! CSM XI!

heh, sorry, I wasn't explicit enough (explicit is better than implicit Blink )

With what I referred to as the 'old' one is what you can also see at http://www.eveonline.com/universe/the-world-of-eve/ - the webGL based map that CCP showed two (or three?) Fanfests ago. This never came with any sort of documentation.
(Only the minified source at http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/starmap/ccp.starmap-0.9843.min.js)

Comparing what PL is using ( https://www.pandemic-legion.com/killboard/js/ccp.starmap-plcustom.min.js ) this looks very similar to the old library - for me the same UI style gave it away :)

The 'new' one I referred to is an example that is based on the newer ccpwgl library (with the mentioned bugs). Also with hardly any documentation, but at least backed by a public repository. This is my reason for mentioning it: It can serve as a basis to do something on your own, answering the question whether someone could do something by themselves.

Well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there for shure.
