About the 3d solar system viewer
An interactive 3D model of the solar system showing where every planet and active space probe is on any date, from published planetary orbits and spacecraft trajectories. Play time forward or back to watch the orbits move.
- Is the solar system shown to scale?
- Distances can be shown to scale or compressed so the inner planets stay visible; planet sizes are exaggerated so they can be seen.
