About
AstroGrid is a free, browser-based 3D universe engine that lets users explore the solar system, Milky Way, galaxies, and deep-sky objects in real time. It features time acceleration and object search, built with WebGL and Three.js. No installation is required — it runs entirely in the browser.
Problem
There is no easy, accessible way to visually explore the universe and deep-sky objects in real time without installing specialized software.
For
space enthusiasts, students, and casual explorers curious about the universe
How it works
Users open the browser app powered by WebGL and Three.js to navigate a 3D model of the universe, search for objects, and accelerate time to observe celestial movements.
