Saturn in 3D — live position and orbit

Famous for its spectacular rings, made of billions of chunks of ice and rock. So low in density it would float on water.

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