A 3D visualizer/simulator for examining asteroids and the risk they pose to Earth. Made in Godot for the NASA Space Apps Hackathon.
This project could not be entirely implemented in time for the Hackathon due to the sudden deadline shift from 11:59 AM midnight to 5:00 PM.
Lunacy provides an interactive 3D simulation of our Solar System with a focus on near-Earth asteroids. Explore planetary orbits, examine asteroid trajectories, and understand the celestial dynamics of objects passing close to our planet.
- Solar System Simulation: Accurate orbital mechanics for all 8 solar system planets
- Asteroid Tracking: Visualize near-Earth asteroids with real orbital data
- 3D Navigation: Free-fly camera to explore the solar system from any angle
- Educational Tool: Understand orbital elements and celestial mechanics
