Stars and planetary systems in 3D

Explore the named stars and planetary systems included in Cosmoscope, from our nearest stellar neighbours to the stars orbiting Sagittarius A*.

Positions use astronomical catalogues and published orbital measurements. Surface appearance, dust depths and unobserved planetary surfaces are illustrated or reconstructed, with their limitations identified in the object facts.
