30 Seconds Video | Orrery Web App that Displays Near-Earth Objects | Nasa Space Apps Challenge 2024
The Orrery Web App is an interactive, browser-based application that visualizes the orbits of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) in real-time. It simulates the movement of celestial objects, particularly asteroids and comets, that come close to Earth, allowing users to explore their trajectories within our solar system. The app leverages NASA’s public API for NEO data, providing updated information on potential impacts, orbital elements, and object characteristics. The visualization is created in a user-friendly 3D environment, giving space enthusiasts and professionals the ability to view, analyze, and explore these objects.
