Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system.

A new type of computer simulation predicts that the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile will discover millions of previously undetected objects in the solar system over the course of the coming decade.

Eyes on the Solar System is a 3D visualization tool that allows users to peek in on a plethora of cosmic wonders throughout our solar system. And now, NASA has made it even easier to do so.

On it, you can view objects in our solar system from different viewpoints and moments in time. Fill out each drop down menu (date, field of view, ect,) and then click run simulator.
