Worth noticing
The shortcut list includes five reference frames, from the Sun and Earth to the galaxy and cosmos.

Field notes

The shortcut guide describes a hands-on interface: users can scrub dates, run time backward, search for an object, and select among five reference frames. It also lists options to toggle labels and orbits or save a view as an image. The homepage claims the model includes 120,000 real asteroids and comets, but that coverage and its accuracy are stated claims rather than independently verified here.
