Solar System

Scene ‣ Solar System

The Solar System describes everything in our cosmic backyard. Powered by our local star, the Sun, we are accustomed to thinking of the Solar System as merely the planets. However, there is a zoo of objects that reside in the Solar System and orbit around the Sun—planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets, among others.

In this section, we explore these objects and how we use them in OpenSpace to tell the stories of the Solar System.
