A NASA-DATA ATLAS OF EVERYTHING WE'VE FOUND
COSMOS ATLAS
You don't need a rocket to see the universe.
A living 3D map of the cosmos you can fly through by hand — every planet on its true orbit, thousands of real stars in their real places, galaxies out to the edge of light. All of it drawn from the data humanity actually collected.
REALM 01 — THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Home, and everything
that orbits with us.
Eight planets and five dwarf worlds ride their true paths, computed from NASA JPL's own orbital elements. Grab the time machine and run centuries per second — watch comets return, spacecraft sail outward, and thirty-one moons wheel around their giants.
REALM 02 — NEARBY STARS
Our stellar neighborhood,
in true 3D.
Every star here is real — position, color, and brightness from the HYG catalog. Fly between them and watch the constellations you know dissolve: they were never shapes, only lines of sight from one small planet.
REALM 03 — THE MILKY WAY
Our galaxy,
seen from above.
Rise out of the disc and look down on the spiral we live in. Forty-four real landmarks are placed at their true galactic coordinates — the nebulae where stars are born, the clusters where they grow old, and the four-million-sun black heart at Sagittarius A*.
REALM 04 — THE UNIVERSE
As far as light
has ever traveled.
Thirty-one real galaxies recede into the deep — out to JADES-GS-z14-0, whose light left home 13.5 billion years ago, before the Earth existed to catch it. Behind everything, the afterglow of the Big Bang itself.
REALM 05 — OTHER WORLDS
Planets around
alien suns.
Stand inside TRAPPIST-1 and watch seven Earth-sized worlds hurry around a star smaller than some planets. Then visit Proxima b, Kepler's strange families, and the worlds we've only just found.
THE INSTRUMENTS
Built like a mission,
not a slideshow.
Run the clock from real-time to centuries per second — forward or backward. Orbits are computed live from JPL elements, not animated loops.
Sit back while the camera flies you through curated stories — the grand tour, the search for life, the edge of everything.
Search 140,000+ real photographs from inside the atlas — every image credited, every source kept.
One switch strips away the map-maker's mercy and shows the humbling emptiness at real proportions.
Every world carries its story — geology, atmosphere, missions, discoveries — cross-checked against NASA primary sources.
One continuous universe from your backyard to the cosmic microwave background — no loading screens between scales.
Some people will never ride a rocket, look through a telescope, or even leave their room.
This atlas exists so they can still feel space.
Free to explore. No ads. Built with care from humanity's own data — NASA, ESA, JPL, USGS, ESO, IAU.
The universe is
one click away.
