Explore
See the nearby stars in three dimensions.
Guided experiences built on real measurements from ESA's Gaia mission. No prior knowledge needed — just a sense of curiosity about what's out there.
Fly-through
Constellations and 3D space
Orion is one of the most recognised shapes in the sky. Navigate freely through the local stars and watch how quickly the familiar pattern breaks apart once each star is placed at its real distance from Earth.

Parallax
Move the observer's position while keeping Orion in view. Nearby stars slide more than distant ones, making visible the depth that a flat night-sky picture hides.

Real data. No commentary required.
Each experience puts you directly in contact with the data — no animation or simulation, just real star positions computed from Gaia parallax measurements. The goal is to let the geometry do the explaining.
If you want to understand the physics behind what you're seeing, the Learn section picks up where these experiences leave off.
