Proteus in 3D — live position and orbit

Neptune's second-largest moon, an irregularly shaped, tidally locked body near the size limit a body of its density can hold without becoming round.

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