Atlas26 is a real-time 3D solar system simulation built using Three.js and Next.js.
It allows users to explore space interactively, with time-driven orbital mechanics powering planets, moons, comets, and minor bodies.
Key features:
Kepler-based orbital motion for planets and moons
Real-time satellite tracking (ISS & Hubble) using SGP4
Asteroid Belt and Kuiper Belt simulations
Dynamic time controls (speed up, slow down, pause)
Interactive camera navigation for free exploration
Device-aware performance optimization

Your project is very cool.
but simulation is wrong.
dark part and light of the moon exchanged.
also I think mapping direction of the Earth must change

Thank you very much for your feedback David. And thanks for highlighting the issues. I will definitely look into it and push a fix on Github soon. Its basically a v1 of Atlas. I was working on it for a past few months and now i decided to make it live and get feedback on what to fix and what features to add.
