# SOLARGOD ▸ Solar System View

A browser-based **compressed-scale 3D solar system explorer** — real ephemerides,
scrubbable time across centuries, jump-to-orbit navigation, and live layers for
deep-space probes, asteroids, and comets. Sibling of
[GODSIGH](../GODSIGH/README.md), which watches Earth; SOLARGOD watches everything
else. Everything runs client-side from free, public, keyless data.

**Status: pre-build.** The full spec lives in [SOLARGOD_BRIEF.md](SOLARGOD_BRIEF.md).

## Quickstart (once built)

```sh
python3 serve.py
# open http://127.0.0.1:8147
```

## Planned layers

| Layer | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **Planets** | JPL Keplerian elements (Standish) | computed locally, no network — scrub 1800–2050 |
| **Moons & rings** | JPL SSD satellite elements | 21 major moons, Saturn/Uranus rings |
| **Spacecraft** | JPL Horizons | Voyagers, New Horizons, JWST, Parker — where they are *now* |
| **Asteroids** | JPL SBDB | real main-belt sample + NEO close approaches (CNEOS CAD) |
| **Comets** | JPL SBDB | Halley & friends, full orbits, 1/r² tails |

MEGA mode compresses distances so the whole system is one readable view;
TRUE mode animates it back out to its real, humbling emptiness.
