AstroBis research dashboard

A Modern Astronomy Console

AstroBis is built as a browser-native astronomy workspace: part 3D atlas, part data dashboard, and part educational research notebook. It favours traceable public data, careful unit labels, and interactive visualisations that make scale, motion, and uncertainty visible.

Oort-scale Solar System atlas with AU ruler, heliopause, and spherical cloud shells

Method Notes

The project separates measured data from visual interpretation. Solar-system worlds use public texture maps where possible; exoplanet portraits are explicitly labelled as data-driven artist renders because most exoplanets are not directly resolved in visible light. ISS position is propagated from current TLE data, and small-body risk labels are prioritisation proxies, not official impact predictions.
