Itokawa in 3D — live position and orbit

A 535-metre rubble pile shaped like a sea otter. JAXA’s Hayabusa landed on it in 2005 and brought the first grains of an asteroid back to Earth in 2010.

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