Interactive 3D atlas of the cosmos
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
Each mode opens the atlas already set up for a different kind of exploration, from a guided tour to a data-rich science view.
Zoom smoothly through five nested worlds without ever leaving the page.
What it is
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.
What you can do
Every body is backed by seeded NASA and Wikipedia data.
Glide from the Local Group of galaxies into the Milky Way, the Solar System, and individual planets and moons.
Step onto Mars and the Moon and look around real NASA 360 panoramas in first person, from Curiosity, Perseverance, Opportunity, Spirit, and Apollo.
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.
Step into TRAPPIST-1, Proxima Centauri, Kepler-90, and 51 Pegasi and explore their planets like our own.
Put up to three bodies side by side across size, mass, gravity, day length, and temperature, with rotating 3D previews.
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.
A guided fly-through plus cinematic, relative-size, and true-distance modes, always labelling which scale is in use.
Every view has its own link, the interface is in English and Polish, and accessibility options are built in.
How it works
Open the atlas straight into the Solar System. No install, no sign up.
Click any body to fly to it, then open its panel for data and context.
Step out to the galaxy and the Local Group, or into real exoplanet systems.
Copy the link to send anyone straight to the exact view you are on.
Honest scales
Sizes and distances cannot be true to scale at once, so CosmoLapse lets you choose, and always tells you which view you are in.
A balanced, beautiful layout tuned for exploring and storytelling.
True relative diameters, so you can feel how vast the giants really are.
Real orbital spacing, where planets become distant, lonely specks.
Open the atlas and start at the Solar System, or fly straight out to the edge of the Local Group.
