NASA’s Solar System Interactive (also known as the Orrery) is a live look at the solar system, its planets, moons, comets, and asteroids, as well as the real-time locations of dozens of NASA missions.
Explore the 3D world of the Solar System. Learn about past and future missions.
Visualize orbits, relative positions and movements of the Solar System objects in an interactive 3D Solar System viewer and simulator.
A collection of interesting and thought provoking solar system maps. These maps show planets and dwarf planets in order, try to scale the solar system and also show a live view of asteroids and their locations.
Solar system, assemblage consisting of the Sun and those bodies orbiting it: 8 planets with about 210 known planetary satellites; many asteroids, some with their own satellites; comets and other icy bodies; and vast reaches of highly tenuous gas and dust known as the interplanetary medium.
Learn about the planets in our solar system. The solar system has eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There are five officially recognized dwarf planets in our solar system: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.
The planets today shows you where the planets are now as a live display - a free online orrery. In this solar system map you can see the planetary positions from 3000 BCE to 3000 CE, and also see when each planet is in retrograde.
Online 3D simulation of the Solar System and night sky in real-time - the Sun, planets, dwarf planets, comets, stars and constellations.
Accurate positions of small bodies can be obtained from our Horizons ephemeris system which uses a numerically integrated high fidelity model which includes gravitational perturbations by the Sun, all the planets, and some of the largest asteroids. The orbit viewer is limited to dates between 1600-01-01 and 2200-01-01. Orbit Paths
This simulated view of the solar system allows you to explore the planets, their moons, asteroids, comets and the spacecraft exploring them. You can also fast-forward or rewind time, and explore the solar system as it looked from 1950 to 2050.
