Description
An animated pixel-art map of the solar system with every body at its real current position, computed from published orbital elements rather than copied from a list. Zoom from the Sun to the Kuiper belt, browse 171 catalogued objects with sourced facts, and see what the sky is doing for the next six months. Every rock is also for sale: claim an asteroid for $5, keep it forever, name it whatever you like. A name here is shown on AstraPixels only, and is not an IAU designation.

Could you build this?
Yes The project uses existing open-source orbital mechanics libraries (like astronomy-engine) to calculate planetary positions and visualizes them on a 2D canvas/pixel-art map with standard Next.js frontend tech.
