Jupiter — planet, shown live in Cosmoscope, a real-time 3D map of the universe.
More massive than every other planet combined. Its Great Red Spot is a storm wider than Earth that has raged for centuries, and its gravity quietly shepherds the entire solar system.
Cosmoscope puts Jupiter at its true position in the solar system, computed from JPL-derived ephemeris and updated continuously. Open the live 3D view to see, in real time, how far Jupiter is from the Sun and from Earth right now, how many minutes or hours light takes to cross that gap, and how fast it is moving along its orbit. Scrub the timeline to place Jupiter where it was on any past date, or where it will be years from now.
