Solar System Scope is an amazing website I found while surfing the Internet the other day. It is a must see for my Science students since we are currently studying the Solar System in our Astronomy unit.
Solar System Scope is a 3D representation of space. You can choose to interact with it in a geocentric view, heliocentric view, or a panoramic view. I love how you can view the constellations in panoramic view, and how the site tells you the distance of planets just by clicking on them. The best way to experience this site is to just go on it and start playing with it. Make sure to click on a planet to move it all around and view it from all angles. Have fun!
