Sky, Science, Motion
The Moon, Solar System and Deep Space — computed from published ephemerides and catalogues, and shown in motion.
- Sky
- · The Moon, Solar System, Deep Space.
- Science
- · Scientific accuracy is our top priority.
- Motion
- · Interactive animations and videos that show what the numbers describe.
Right now the main work is data: which sources to use, how accurate they are across the different fields, and what they let us compute. What you see here is early and still being checked. Next we start building animations on top of it. Work in progress — we are exploring the space and enjoying it.
