Sol
Our Solar System: the Sun, planets and major moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and spacecraft, placed where they are today.
A 3D N-body simulator in your browser
Fly through real and imagined star systems
Teskooano (tes-koo-ah-no) puts our Solar System and endless generated systems in your browser, with every body pulling on every other. GPU-baked planets, ray-traced black holes, a guided Grand Tour, and as many viewports as you like.
Start with a system
All systemsOpen in simulator
Generate your own
Any seed makes a new system: single and binary stars, neutron stars, black holes, planets, moons, rings and comets, under a sky of its own. The same seed always makes the same system.
What you can see
How it works
Real N-body physics
Every body pulls on every other. Orbits stay stable for years of
simulated time, satellites stay in orbit at any time scale, and you
can switch to ideal Kepler orbits at any point.
Take the Grand Tour
Let the camera fly between the most interesting bodies in a system,
orbiting each with a short note, or focus and follow any body
yourself.
Multiple views
Open as many engine views as you like in a dockable layout, each with
its own camera, focus and panels.
Works everywhere
Runs in any modern browser, adapts to phones, and installs as an
offline app that updates itself.
