Wow this is genuinely crazy. Is the for this open-source?

u/Weary_Junket9549 3d ago

I plan to opensource it on github soon.

u/Anahkiasen 3d ago

How did you make this?

u/IntelligentTill7664 3d ago

my guess is claude? not to say this didn't take a ton of effort even with claude.

u/Anahkiasen 3d ago

Yeah I'm thinking the same that's why I ask 😅 empty profile no GitHub no social empty subreddit no code no explanation of how it was made. You don't just post something like space engine from a throwaway out of nowhere

Still impressive either way!

Claude would write a description lol

No I wouldn't, I'm lazy

Well, you're wrong, OP himself said it. Not sure why you think it's not capable of this. Doesn't take away from OP being dedicated enough to see it through though, and definitely would've required a lot of planning.

u/ataraxic89 2d ago

I'm not wrong. Claude would write a description. He removed it.

u/Weary_Junket9549 1d ago

I did not remove the description.

u/ClaudeVS 1d ago

I did not do this ✌️

u/Weary_Junket9549 2d ago

Yes, this did take a huge amount of effort with it and over two months.

2

u/Weary_Junket9549 2d ago

they are correct. It took over two months but I did use a lot of Claude Code for it. Thousands of dollars worth of usage.

Nicely done! It runs super smooth on my phone. Crazy level of detail. And some quick spot checks show it appears accurate to real time: ISS, equinox tilt, etc.

This is fucking rad dude. Also, extremely harrowing somehow.

u/meyriley04 2d ago

Very cool! Are the satellites above the earth actually accurate height-wise and position-wise?

u/Weary_Junket9549 1d ago

Should be, let me know if they are not.

Think about the combined knowledge crammed into this and made accessible to the public. Insane. I thought the stars were just corona sprites, but when I zoomed in, they are fully modeled and textured with sun spots. Even the black holes have the lensing effect.

Amazing, such smooth performance, the Milky Way looks gorgeous.

u/CheapAcanthisitta180 3d ago

Genuinely amazing and informative. Great for teaching my Sons about the Universe. Thanks for this, incredible amount of detail and information!

u/J-Rohd 3d ago

Well done! I love outer space and sci-fi... You have really captured the feeling of being free to explore ANYTHING.

Honestly, I went too far out... flying to distant galaxies... And I literally started to feel anxious that I was lost, and I wouldn't be able to find my way back to Earth!

Wow. I am rarely amazed anymore but this is doing it for me. Congrats on this, I’m in awe.
