I am trying to make a solar system model. I made it all so far using two.js. I want to make it so when the mouse is over a planet's orbit path, it'll highlight that planet's orbit, and be a link to information about that planet. I'm having trouble finding a way to do this, though.
If you don't have it, here's Two.js.
My file structure looks like this:
css
main.css
js
main.js
two.js
index.html
PS. This will not render with the "Run code snippet" feature. If you wish to see it, you must save this code and put it in the same file structure I have.

var elem = document.getElementById('canvas');
var two = new Two({

}).appendTo(elem);
//Define our planets and their colors
var sun = two.makeCircle(0, 0, 70);
var mercury = two.makeCircle(95, 0, 7);

var mars = two.makeCircle(200, 0, 9.5);
var jupiter = two.makeCircle(260, 0, 28);
// For Saturn we're going to do something special in order to get the rings

var saturnRings = two.makeCurve(296, 0, 290, 10, 322, 10, 350, -8, 342, -10, true);
saturnRings.rotation = 4.5;

This will only work for the svg renderer, but you can add event listeners on mouseover and mouseout as well as touchmove events like so:
// ... After you've created all the planets ...
// This command will create all the dom elements
// which you can bind events to.
two.update();
var highlight = function() { sun.fill = 'red'; };
var ignore = function() { sun.fill = 'yellow'; };
sun._renderer.elem.addEventListener('mousemove', highlight, false);
sun._renderer.elem.addEventListener('mouseout', ignore, false);
There is also an example of how to achieve this here.
