BepiColombo — spacecraft, shown live in Cosmoscope, a real-time 3D map of the universe.
A joint Europe–Japan mission threading repeated planet flybys to brake into orbit and unravel scorched, iron-rich Mercury.
Cosmoscope draws BepiColombo on its real trajectory, from mission ephemeris rather than an artist's impression. Open the live 3D view to see where BepiColombo is right now, how far it has travelled from the Sun, and how long its radio signal takes to reach Earth. Scrub the timeline to replay the route that took it there.
