Orbital Eye: Real-Time 3D Space Observatory & Interactive Solar System
Orbital Eye is an immersive, interactive 3D WebGL space observatory inspired by NASA Eyes. It simulates the Solar System using verified Keplerian physics, tracks Earth satellites via validated SGP4 propagation, monitors interplanetary space probes, and scans for near-Earth asteroid encounters.
Core Astronomical & Orbital Features
Explore real-time celestial mechanics, planetary diurnal rotations, true axial tilts, atmospheric scattering, and authoritative ephemerides from NASA JPL Horizons, CelesTrak, and the 18th Space Defense Squadron.
External broadcast feeds experience periodic LOS (Loss of Signal) during orbital handover.
Visual broadcast only — not used as an orbital telemetry source.
