☀️ Solar System Simulation

An interactive, physically accurate simulation of our solar system built entirely with vanilla HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript — no frameworks, no libraries.

Planetary orbits are computed in real-time from Keplerian orbital elements. Spacecraft trajectories use piecewise Hermite interpolation between state vectors. All rendering is procedurally generated using Canvas 2D and WebGL.

Features

• All 8 planets, Pluto, 17 moons, 6 comets
• 5 spacecraft with historically accurate trajectories
• 2D and 3D viewing modes
• Time controls with adjustable speed
• Click any body to track and view orbital data

Data Sources

Orbital elements and spacecraft state vectors sourced from the NASA/JPL Horizons System.
