Europa in 3D — live position and orbit

An icy moon with a smooth surface and strong evidence for a global subsurface ocean.

Europa is shown at its real position, computed from NASA/JPL ephemeris data. The view opens on Europa; you can travel in time, switch between the educational overview and the true-scale voyage, and compare it with every other body of the solar system.
