← THE EXPERIMENT COLLECTION
Astronomical distances and galactic diversity

Explore the known universe

Travel from the Local Group to distant quasars. Visit galaxies, famous black holes, rare stars and the Solar System's small bodies.

THE PHYSICS

A closer look.

Catalog directions and approximate distances become 3D positions. Navigation changes the local camera scale.

x = d cos δ cos α

G is the gravitational constant, M and m are masses, r is separation, c is the speed of light, and b is impact parameter where applicable.

What you can learn

  • Compare spiral, elliptical and irregular galaxies
  • Visit the hosts of Sagittarius A*, M87* and R136a1
  • Explore inclined comet orbits and the asteroid belt
  • Understand local versus cosmological distance scales

Default bodies

24 curated destinations, 3 named comets, Ceres, 3 asteroids and an illustrative asteroid belt

KNOW THE MODEL

A curated atlas, not a complete universe survey or live ephemeris. SIMBAD J2000 directions, rounded source distances and flat-LCDM radial comoving distances for quasars and GN-z11. Shapes, orientations, colors and close-ups are illustrative. Catalog entries are outside the N-body solver; comet phases are illustrative.

Space fabric illustrates gravitational influence; it is not a numerical solution of the full Einstein field equations. Visual sizes can be enlarged independently of physical collision radii.

Keep exploring.
