Mapping Meteors, Asteroids & Exoplanets

Meteor Showers is a WebGL map of major shooting star showers which tin hold out seen from Earth. The map allows you lot to direct as well as sentiment from a release of unlike shooting star showers which tin hold out observed at unlike times of the year. These showers originate from multiple comets as well as asteroids.

You tin direct to sentiment all of the shooting star showers at 1 time on the map or direct to sentiment an private shooting star shower from a drop-down menu. The carte du jour includes the times of the yr when each shooting star shower is visible from Earth.


From the same developer the Asterank 3d Asteroid Orbit Space Simulation is an impressive WebGL application that shows a sentiment of our solar organisation amongst over 600,000 asteroids mapped. It is possible to rotate, zoom as well as pan the simulation. It is likewise possible to refine the asteroids shown yesteryear well-nigh valuable as well as well-nigh accessible (just inward illustration you lot convey whatsoever asteroid mining plans).


The Exoplanets Viewer is around other WebGL visualization (with a piddling aid from Unity). This map of the Universe shows the place of all the exoplanets discovered then far. The Exoplanets Viewer shows the position of all the known exoplanets every mo seen from your electrical flow place as well as time.

The color of a planet on the map represents its temperature. The light-green exoplanets are those situated inward the habitable zone. The hottest planets are colored ruby piece H2O ice worlds are colored blue.
