• 2026-10-24 Asteroid and comet cards show the year of discovery, and the Tonight view uses precession, phase and planet brightness.
• 2026-10-24 Track asteroids, comets and planets: a Track button on their cards lists them in the Solar System panel with the closest approach to Earth, the next comet perihelion, whether they are up tonight and a calendar file, and flags when their orbit data is updated.
• 2026-10-24 The Show on the 3D map button on a body page now opens the map and flies to that body.
• 2026-10-24 Country names in the catalog and on object pages link to the country page.
• 2026-10-24 Near-Earth asteroids now show their true minimum distance to Earth's orbit, and the camera shows the planet behind a spacecraft you select.
• 2026-10-24 Asteroid, comet and spacecraft cards now show perihelion, aphelion, inclination, absolute magnitude, the next perihelion of comets, how close a near-Earth asteroid gets to Earth's orbit, launch year and agency of spacecraft, a close button and a link to the body page.
• 2026-10-24 In the Solar System view you can now list and fly to every spacecraft, and time can run at 1 hour, 1 day or 30 days per second to watch planets move.
• 2026-10-24 Choosing a moon, planet or spacecraft in the side panel opens its card, and on phones the panel folds away so the map stays visible.
• 2026-10-24 Overlapping planet and spacecraft labels are hidden, and Earth-only buttons are hidden when you look at other bodies.
• 2026-10-24 The first click on an asteroid or comet now shows its name, Escape closes a card without flying to Earth, and spacecraft buttons no longer fly to Earth while spacecraft are hidden.
• 2026-10-24 Comet cards no longer show an invented diameter, and estimated asteroid sizes are marked as estimates.

• 2026-10-23 Choosing a country in the catalog now also finds its space debris, not only its active satellites and rocket bodies.
• 2026-10-23 The side panel now follows what you are looking at: pick Earth, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter or the whole Solar System and it shows that body's moons and what orbits it.
• 2026-10-23 When zoomed far out, the Sun and planets shrink so the Sun no longer covers the inner planets.

• 2026-10-23 The Sun is drawn larger, and its glow now fades out smoothly.
• 2026-10-23 The Sun now has a larger, brighter glow.
• 2026-10-23 Background stars are now thin and faint, so they no longer look like planets or get in the way of them.

• 2026-10-23 The old rayed Sun is replaced by the real Sun, and planets are dimmer near Earth so they no longer compete with satellites.
• 2026-10-22 About 36,000 asteroids and comets on the map. Click one to see its orbit with a pulse, and zoom in to see a 3D rock.
• 2026-10-22 The real Sun and planets are visible in the sky while you rotate the globe around Earth.
• 2026-10-22 Hover highlights planets and the Moon; click the Moon from far away to focus on it and see its orbit around Earth.
