Summary

NASA Eyes is a free suite of interactive 3D applications for exploring NASA data and imagery in a web browser. Its Solar System view covers planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft, with a simulated timeline from 1950 to 2050. Eyes on Asteroids tracks more than 30,000 objects near Earth's orbit and shows the next five close approaches. Eyes on the Earth presents Earth-science mission information such as carbon dioxide, ozone, sea level, weather imagery, precipitation, and soil moisture. Eyes on Exoplanets lets users explore more than 5,500 confirmed systems and filter by planet type, detection method, or observatory. DSN Now refreshes Deep Space Network station data every five seconds, and Mars Relay Network visualizes communications involving Mars orbiters, landers, and rovers. The browser apps require internet access and work on devices with a modern browser. NASA also offers museum and education guidance, including embedding and kiosk options. Older downloadable versions still run but are no longer supported.
