NASA's Eyes on the Solar System Vizualization Tool Gets a Major Update

NASA has released a new upgraded version of Eyes on the Solar System, the visualization tool that provides a glimpse of the Solar system allowing users to have a closer look at its objects, rotate them, and compare them side by side as well as explore interactive simulations of missions undertaken by Voyager, Perseverance, and other spacecraft.

The three-dimensional map of the Solar system is available for free directly from the browser, both on PC and on mobile devices. 

The update for Eyes on the Solar System has been in development for more than two years, and, according to NASA, this improved version has more convenient controls, increased detail, and simplified navigation, including for studying specific space missions.

The interactive 3D map lets you see the location of numerous celestial bodies, including planets, asteroids, and comets which, as NASA said, makes "interplanetary travel easier and more interactive than ever."

"The beauty of the new browser-based 'Eyes on the Solar System' is that it really invites exploration. You just need an internet connection, a device that has a web browser, and some curiosity," said the producer of the Eyes software at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Jason Craig.
