Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive zoom runs from low Earth orbit to Andromeda, spanning 300 kilometres to 2.5 million light-years on one scroll wheel.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-20 issue.

For: Astronomy-curious explorers
Worth noticing: Stars dim with distance and disappear below the eye’s limit; dust reddens and obscures what lies behind it.

Field notes

The interface lists viewing bands including visible, infrared, and radio, plus destinations such as Earth, the Solar System, and the Galaxy. It also offers an orbit-trace toggle and links to a method explanation and data credits; the page’s claim of real astronomical data is self-reported.
