Solar System Explorer is a free interactive map of our solar system. Drag to move, scroll or pinch to zoom, and click any planet, moon, satellite or probe for its facts. Use the Go to menu to jump straight to a place.
It includes the eight planets and dwarf planets such as Pluto, 21 named moons, satellites and stations (ISS, Tiangong, Hubble, Webb, Starlink, GPS and GOES), deep-space probes (Voyager 1 and 2, New Horizons, Pioneer 10 and 11, Parker Solar Probe, Juno) and 11 launch sites. Pick a launch site to see Earth turn to it and a rocket lift off.
Pictures come from NASA/JPL, USGS and other public sources, plus Solar System Scope textures (CC BY 4.0). Credits are shown on the page. Sizes and distances are compressed so everything fits on screen.
No. Real distances are far too large to show with real sizes, so orbits and sizes are compressed. The facts shown for each world, such as diameter and day length, are the real values.
Voyager 1, launched in 1977, is the farthest human-made object, about 170 times farther from the Sun than Earth. Zoom far out or use the Go to menu to find it.
Planet and moon pictures come from NASA and its missions, with surface maps from the USGS and textures from Solar System Scope. Where no public photo exists, a simple drawing is used instead.
Yes. Zoom in on Earth and click a red pin, or choose a site in the Go to menu, to see the launch sites of the USA, Russia, China, Japan, Korea, India and Europe.
Yes, with nothing to install, and it works on phones and tablets.
