What you can explore

Planets & moons

All eight planets and 19 major moons, rendered to real size and distance with live orbital motion.

Asteroids & comets

Over 1,200 asteroids and 497 comets, each placed from its real orbit. Watch a tail grow as a comet nears the Sun.

Satellites & Starlink

Live satellites from CelesTrak, including the ISS and the full Starlink fleet, orbiting a day-lit Earth.

Spacecraft

Follow real missions at their true positions today: the Voyagers, Pioneers, New Horizons, Parker and JWST.

Interstellar visitors

The three known interstellar objects, 1I/'Oumuamua, 2I/Borisov and 3I/ATLAS, on their paths through the system.

Travel through time

Scrub to any date, speed time from seconds to years, or just watch it unfold live right now.

Real data, not animation

Every body you see is propagated from NASA/JPL orbital data and live satellite elements, so the view matches the real sky. Switch to true 1:1 scale to feel the real distances, or measure between any two objects.
