About CosmicVue

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.
