Explore the wonders of the solar system!
View the solar system interactively with the ability to zoom, pan, and rotate.
Visualize the positions of planets, Near-Earth Comets (NECs), Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) including Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) using NASA's Keplerian parameters and Data.
Explore the colored orbital trajectories of celestial bodies, with options to enable or disable specific orbits.
Control the speed of the simulation to observe the movement of celestial bodies at different speeds.
Select a planet and track its movement through the solar system.
Enable users to explore and manipulate the visualization interactively.
Experience two distinct orrery simulations.
CosmicVue is an innovative interactive orrery web application developed by CosmoArchitects for the 2024 NASA Space Apps Challenge. Our mission is to create a visually captivating platform that displays celestial bodies, including planets, Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs), Near-Earth Comets (NECs), and Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs).
Since the inception of mechanical orreries in 1713, the concept has evolved, allowing us to utilize modern tools to create dynamic virtual models. CosmicVue not only visualizes the positions and orbits of celestial objects but also integrates real-time data from NASA, providing users with an immersive educational experience.
Our project aims to enhance public understanding of celestial mechanics by offering interactive features such as orbit tracking, time control, and customizable views. Whether you are a space enthusiast or a curious learner, CosmicVue invites you to explore the wonders of our solar system.
The CosmoArchitects team comprises passionate individuals dedicated to leveraging technology and science to create impactful educational tools. Our diverse backgrounds in programming, astrophysics, and design empower us to bring this project to life.
