Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive 3D atlas of planets, stars, galaxies, spacecraft, and exoplanets assembled from NASA and other scientific datasets.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The atlas is organized as five connected scales, beginning with the Solar System and extending through nearby stars, the Milky Way, deep-universe galaxies, and exoplanets. Its described controls include live orbital calculation from JPL elements, reversible time acceleration, guided camera tours, true-scale mode, and searchable NASA imagery. The page also names 92 research dossiers and a 140,000-plus photograph library, though several displayed counters conflict with the surrounding prose and the full controls require a free account.
