Gonggong in 3D — live position and orbit

Named after the Chinese god of water and chaos, this reddish, methane-frosted world spins nearly on its side and shares a steeply tilted, eccentric orbit with its lone moon Xiangliu.

Gonggong is shown at its real position, computed from NASA/JPL ephemeris data. The view opens on Gonggong; 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.
