Show HN: real-time solar system view with 526k asteroids and all tracked satellites
What happened
On September 30, 2026, a developer posted a Show HN project on the Hacker News front page: a real-time solar system visualization containing 526k asteroids and all tracked satellites. The tool supports drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, click for object cards and orbits, and double-click to fly to a target; flight controls use WASD to move, R/F to rise and descend, Q/E and arrow keys to turn, and Shift to speed up. Clicking a group name in the interface highlights it, and an eye icon controls orbit display. Coverage so far covers only the project's launch and features, with no follow-up or inconsistency with earlier reports.
