orbital mechanics — rendered live

Cartograph.

A live 3D atlas of everything — 312+ objects across 10 data arrays, from the solar system to deep-universe structure, each with instrument-cited stats from JWST, Gaia, and EHT.

the idea

Orbit, drawn

what it is

A 3D cartograph of everything, at every scale. 109 real stars to 50,000 light-years, plotted from true RA/Dec/distance. 50 solar system bodies — every planet, every major dwarf planet, and 3I/ATLAS, the 2025 interstellar visitor. 27 confirmed exoplanets carrying JWST atmospheric data. 15+ black holes running stellar-mass to ultramassive, 20+ nebulae, 20+ clusters, 14 pulsars and neutron stars, 20+ galaxies, and deep-universe structure out to the edge of the observable cosmos.

Every object carries 8 instrument-cited data fields sourced from Hubble, JWST, Gaia DR3, EHT, Chandra, NICER, and LIGO. Sibling project to Orbit Watch — where Orbit Watch is being built to follow a single satellite in real time, Cartograph is the wide view: everything else that's out there.

how it works

Ten modes, one renderer. Sol Sys places each planet by true orbital radius with Kepler mechanics; Stellar converts real RA/Dec/parallax into 3D positions for 109 stars; Exoplanets groups 27 confirmed worlds with JWST and Hubble observation notes; Remnants, Nebulae, Clusters, Pulsars, Galaxy, and Deep Universe each render their category at representative scale. Tap any object for its full data panel — spectral type, temperature, mass, luminosity, instrument source, and observation year. Three.js r134 with UnrealBloom post-processing, 10,000 statistically-classified background stars, GLSL twinkling shader. No plugin, no native app.

status

Live at mentifaber.org/Cartograph. All modes interactive — drag to orbit, pinch or scroll to zoom, tap any object for its data panel. Data sourced from Gaia DR3 · Hubble/HST · JWST · Chandra · NICER · EHT · LIGO/Virgo · VLT ESPRESSO. Next: SGP4 propagation for a live-satellite layer, shared with Orbit Watch. The groundwork already runs next door — Vigil propagates live satellites across its world globe.
