Solar System Simulation
(a realistic, calm space travel)
Sometimes you just need a little space. I built this interactive 3D solar system simulation to visualize the vastness of our neighborhood and show my kids how the planets actually move.
It started as a simple question: "Does the Moon really spin?" (Yes, it does, exactly once per orbit!). To answer it, I decided to build a simulation where we could verify it ourselves.
Features:
- Realistic Physics: Orbits and rotations based on real scientific data (Keplerian elements).
- Time Control: Speed up time from Real Time (1s/s) to 1 Week/s to watch the outer planets move.
- Scale Modes: Toggle "Real Distance" to see just how empty space really is.
- Ambient Mode: Calm background music for maximum zoning out.
