This simulated live view of the solar system allows you to explore
the planets, their moons, asteroids, comets and the spacecraft
interacting with them in 3D. You can also fast-forward or rewind
time, and explore the solar system as it looked from 1950 to 2050,
complete with past and future NASA missions.
You can follow over 150 NASA missions from start to finish with this
browser-based 3D simulation that uses the most accurate data and
imagery possible. Watch the Voyager spacecraft from launch in 1977
until today, see the Cassini mission fly through the ice plumes of
Enceladus, ride along as OSIRIS-REx lands on an asteroid to scoop up
material, see the New Horizons mission take the first close pictures
of Pluto, witness the first Artemis mission circle the moon, or
preview the Europa Clipper mission. You are free to roam and
discover.

Track over 30,000 asteroids that are near Earth’s orbit, see the
next 5 closest approaches to Earth, and learn about current and
historic NASA asteroid and comet missions in this real-time 3D
simulation of the solar system
Try out the interactive “scrolly-telling” that lets you learn about
how we define a close approach or how we determine if an asteroid or
comet is categorized as a “Potentially Hazardous Object.” Or ride
along with NASA missions as we make historical discoveries about
asteroids and comets, such as the first time we landed on an
asteroid, or impacted a comet. See the DART mission impact with a
binary asteroid system, and much more. Eyes on Asteroids lets you
track all the latest discoveries. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

Fly along with NASA’s Earth science missions in real-time, monitor Earth’s vital signs like Carbon Dioxide, Ozone and Sea Level, and see satellite imagery of the latest major weather events, all in an immersive, 3D environment. Ride along with the International Space Station, and watch the sun rise and set 16 times a day. Check out the latest Carbon Monoxide data to see if there are fires around the globe, or see the latest Precipitation and Soil Moisture data. Track dozens of NASA satellites as they take data above Earth. Watch videos and animations explaining the latest data trends, or go back in time to see past data. You can select a date range and play back global imagery and data going back twenty years, including major weather events. With Eyes on the Earth, you can track Earth’s vital signs, live

This nighttime image shows the glow of molten lava in the summit area of the Kilauea volcano (lower right), captured by the NOAA-20 satellite on Jan. 28, 2025. The glow on Oahu (near the middle of the image) comes from Honolulu’s city lights. The Jan. 28 eruption lasted around 16 hours, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, and it was the latest in a series of small eruptions that began on Dec. 23, 2024. The eruptions are occurring within a closed area of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.
On Jan. 22, 2025, the NOAA-21 satellite captured this image of a snow-covered Southeast U.S. On Jan. 21, 2025, a rare winter storm traveled across the Gulf Coast, dumping snow from Texas through the Florida Panhandle before traveling across Georgia and the Carolinas. Many places in the region had eight or more inches of snow accumulation, with several locations setting new records, including New Orleans and Milton, Florida.
In the first week of Jan. 2025, a potent winter storm delivered snow, ice, and freezing temperatures to the central and eastern United States as seen in this image from NASA’s Aqua satellite on Jan. 12, 2025.
Destructive fires, fueled by a dry landscape and powerful Santa Ana winds, burned in the Los Angeles area in January 2025. Smoke from the Palisades and Eaton fires, which both broke out on Jan. 7, was visible in satellite imagery for several days after they ignited, including in this image from the Suomi NPP satellite on Jan. 9. They were the largest of several fires that burned in the area as strong winds tore through the region.
A wildfire near Malibu, California, is spreading quickly due to powerful Santa Ana winds and low humidity. This NOAA-20 satellite image from Dec. 10, 2024, shows smoke plumes spreading southwest. This illustrates the effect of the Santa Ana winds, which bring hot, dry air from inland desert regions westward toward the Pacific Ocean.
