Description
SOLAR — an interactive 3D solar system you fly through in the browser. Real JPL orbital elements (1800–2050), Kepler's equation solved live, cinematic time-warp travel between planets, a top-down ecliptic map, in-flight music. A non-commercial pet project built with React + Three.js, largely vibe-coded with Claude Code. Mobile-first — works as well on a phone as a desktop.
