AstraPixels

Explore a live pixel-art Solar System map and its celestial objects

Meet AstraPixels

AstraPixels presents the Solar System as an interactive pixel-art map. Visitors can explore planets and smaller bodies, zoom into the scene, or browse objects in a list. Time controls switch between the current view and faster simulations, while a true-scale option changes how distances and object sizes are represented.

Object positions are calculated from published orbital elements and the astronomy-engine library, and object pages attach sources to their facts. The site also includes sky events and advertising placements associated with map objects. Custom names attached through those placements appear only within AstraPixels; they are not official astronomical designations. The map offers a visual way to explore orbital relationships without specialist software.
