New 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 choose in addition to sentiment from a expose of dissimilar shooting star showers which tin last observed at dissimilar times of the year. These showers originate from multiple comets in addition to asteroids.

You tin choose to sentiment all of the shooting star showers at i time on the map or choose 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 in addition to pan the simulation. It is besides possible to refine the asteroids shown yesteryear nearly valuable in addition to nearly accessible (just inwards illustration you lot bring whatever asteroid mining plans).


The Exoplanets Viewer is about other WebGL visualization (with a niggling aid from Unity). This map of the Universe shows the place of all the exoplanets discovered then far. The Exoplanets Viewer shows the lay of all the known exoplanets every 2nd seen from your electrical flow place in addition to time.

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