Astronomical data

Physical, orbital, and rotational values are rounded for an educational, visually compressed simulation.

Giant-planet temperatures refer to cloud-top levels and gravity to the conventional 1-bar reference level. Moon temperatures are representative surface means.

Planet textures

Planet surfaces, Earth clouds and night lights, and Saturn's ring map are provided by Solar System Scope / INOVE.

Earth's Moon

The lunar color and elevation maps come from the NASA Scientific Visualization Studio CGI Moon Kit, prepared from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter LROC and LOLA data.

Credit: NASA Scientific Visualization Studio. The maps are used with project-specific surface, bump, material, and lighting parameters.

Procedural visuals

The Sun surface, corona, atmospheres, starfield, lighting, and ring shading are generated or composed in this project using Three.js and custom GLSL shaders.
