Mapping Meteors, Asteroids & Exoplanets


Meteor Showers is a WebGL map of major shooting star showers which tin last seen from Earth. The map allows you lot to pick out together with persuasion from a expose of dissimilar shooting star showers which tin last observed at dissimilar times of the year. These showers originate from multiple comets together with asteroids.

You tin pick out to persuasion all of the shooting star showers at in 1 lawsuit on the map or pick out to persuasion an private shooting star shower from a drop-down menu. The bill of fare includes the times of the twelvemonth 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 persuasion of our solar arrangement amongst over 600,000 asteroids mapped. It is possible to rotate, zoom together with pan the simulation. It is too possible to refine the asteroids shown past times virtually valuable together with virtually accessible (just inward instance you lot convey whatsoever asteroid mining plans).


The Exoplanets Viewer is to a greater extent than or less other WebGL visualization (with a footling assistance from Unity). This map of the Universe shows the place of all the exoplanets discovered then far. The Exoplanets Viewer shows the set of all the known exoplanets every bit seen from your electrical current place together with time.

The color of a planet on the map represents its temperature. The greenish exoplanets are those situated inward the habitable zone. The hottest planets are colored cherry-red spell H2O ice worlds are colored blue.
