The Orrery

Where the planets actually stand, right now. Positions are computed in your browser from the same Keplerian elements JPL publishes for approximate ephemerides — this is a measurement, not an animation.

Drag to turn the sky · scroll to zoom · click a planet. Distances are compressed so all eight fit one screen; bodies are not to scale.
