Interactive 3D atlas of the cosmos

Fly from galaxies
down to single moons

CosmoLapse is a cinematic, browser-based atlas of the universe. Cross every scale, from the Local Group of galaxies into the Milky Way, the Solar System, and on to real exoplanet systems, planets, rings, and moons.

No account. No trackers. Works in your browser.

Start your way

Pick a mode and launch straight in

Each mode opens the atlas already set up for a different kind of exploration, from a guided tour to a data-rich science view.

One continuous journey across every scale

Zoom smoothly through five nested worlds without ever leaving the page.

What it is

A real-time planetarium that lives in a browser tab

CosmoLapse turns public astronomical data into a navigable, cinematic universe. Pick any body and a detail panel opens with figures, a live summary, and travel-time analogies from Earth.

  • Smooth flight from the Local Group down to individual moons and ring systems.
  • Real exoplanet systems you can enter and explore like the Solar System.
  • Honest scale modes that always tell you which view you are in.

What you can do

Built to explore, grounded in real data

Every body is backed by seeded NASA and Wikipedia data.

01

Galaxy to planet

Glide from the Local Group of galaxies into the Milky Way, the Solar System, and individual planets and moons.

02

Walk the surface

Step onto Mars and the Moon and look around real NASA 360 panoramas in first person, from Curiosity, Perseverance, Opportunity, Spirit, and Apollo.

03

The sky right now

See every planet at its true position for this very hour, scrub time to any date, and read the Moon's real phase and the evening sky.

04

Real exoplanet systems

Step into TRAPPIST-1, Proxima Centauri, Kepler-90, and 51 Pegasi and explore their planets like our own.

05

Compare worlds

Put up to three bodies side by side across size, mass, gravity, day length, and temperature, with rotating 3D previews.

06

Travel from Earth

See how far each world is and how long the trip would take by car, by airliner, by spacecraft, and at the speed of light.

07

Cinematic tour and scales

A guided fly-through plus cinematic, relative-size, and true-distance modes, always labelling which scale is in use.

08

Shareable and bilingual

Every view has its own link, the interface is in English and Polish, and accessibility options are built in.

How it works

From a tab to the edge of the Local Group

01

Launch

Open the atlas straight into the Solar System. No install, no sign up.

02

Explore

Click any body to fly to it, then open its panel for data and context.

03

Go further

Step out to the galaxy and the Local Group, or into real exoplanet systems.

04

Share

Copy the link to send anyone straight to the exact view you are on.

Honest scales

Three ways to see the Solar System

Sizes and distances cannot be true to scale at once, so CosmoLapse lets you choose, and always tells you which view you are in.

01

Cinematic

A balanced, beautiful layout tuned for exploring and storytelling.

02

Relative size

True relative diameters, so you can feel how vast the giants really are.

03

True distance

Real orbital spacing, where planets become distant, lonely specks.
