3D viewer by NASA's Eyes — NASA/JPL-Caltech. Embedded here; not created by LK Forge.
Three ways to explore
Eyes on the Solar System
Fly through the planets, moons and active NASA spacecraft at their real positions, with time controls to speed through orbits and mission timelines.
Eyes on the Earth
Watch NASA's Earth-observing satellites circle the planet in real time, and layer on live data such as temperature, carbon dioxide and sea level.
Eyes on Asteroids
Map the thousands of known near-Earth asteroids and comets, and see their orbits and close approaches to Earth.

What is NASA's Eyes?
Eyes is a set of free, real-time 3D visualizations made by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Eyes on the Solar System flies you through the planets and active spacecraft; Eyes on the Earth shows live Earth-observing satellites and climate data; Eyes on Asteroids maps near-Earth asteroids and comets. This page embeds them so you can switch between the three.
Is this made by LK Forge?
No — the 3D viewer is NASA's own Eyes application, embedded from eyes.nasa.gov and credited to NASA/JPL-Caltech. LK Forge provides the switcher and the surrounding guide. For a solar-system model built by LK Forge, see our 3D Solar System Simulator.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, on most modern phones and tablets, though the NASA Eyes app is graphics-heavy and works best on a larger screen with a stable connection. It requires WebGL and JavaScript. If the viewer stays blank, that is usually WebGL being unavailable or blocked rather than a fault on this page.
Do I need an account or a download to use NASA Eyes?
NASA Eyes needs no account and no download: the web version runs in the browser, and this page loads it straight from eyes.nasa.gov in an embedded frame. There is no sign-up on the LK Forge side either. The only requirement is a browser with WebGL and JavaScript enabled, because the visualizations are rendered in 3D.
