CAPABILITIES

One model. The entire sky.

ORRERY fuses live astrometry with a deep astronomical knowledge base, so every star you point at comes with a story.

Constellation Mapping

Real-time astrometry across all 88 constellations with 0.003° precision, from city balconies to dark-sky sites.

Planetary Intelligence

Live profiles for every planet — atmospheres, spin states, storm systems and magnetospheres, refreshed nightly.

Moon Registry

412 satellites indexed with orbits, compositions and habitability signals — from Phobos to the newest irregulars.

Event Forecasting

Transits, occultations and meteor showers predicted months ahead, with alerts tuned to your exact coordinates.

PLANET 01 · HOUSE OF GEMINI

Mercury.

The swift messenger, scorched and cratered. ORRERY tracks its 600 °C day-to-night swings and its lonely, moonless orbit.

PLANET 02 · HOUSE OF TAURUS

Earth's evil twin wrapped in acid cloud. ORRERY models its backwards spin and a surface hot enough to melt lead.

CONSTELLATION ATLAS

Eight houses. Hover to light them.

Every planet keeps a house in the sky. Rest your cursor on a card and its stars ignite — lines follow the light, exactly as the tracker sees them.

01

Gemini

THE TWINS

Castor and Pollux — one mortal, one divine. Swift Mercury still darts between the twins at dusk.

HOUSE OF MERCURYα POLLUX · WINTER
02

Taurus

THE BULL

The bull's face is traced by the Hyades; its shoulder carries the Pleiades, the sky's most famous cluster.

HOUSE OF VENUSα ALDEBARAN · WINTER
03

Ursa Major

THE GREAT BEAR

The great bear's ladle points to Polaris — every mariner's road home, and Earth's compass since antiquity.

HOUSE OF EARTHε ALIOTH · ALL YEAR
04

Aries

THE RAM

The ram of the golden fleece. Two thousand years ago, spring itself began beneath these stars.

HOUSE OF MARSα HAMAL · AUTUMN
05

Sagittarius

THE ARCHER

The archer's teapot pours straight into the heart of the Milky Way — and toward the galaxy's hidden core.

HOUSE OF JUPITERα KAUS AUST. · SUMMER
06

Capricornus

THE SEA-GOAT

Faintest figure of the zodiac — as patient as the slow, ringed planet that keeps its house.

HOUSE OF SATURNδ DENEB ALG. · SUMMER
07

Aquarius

THE WATER-BEARER

The water-bearer pours the celestial river, and hides the Helix Nebula — the Eye of God.

HOUSE OF URANUSβ SADALSUUD · AUTUMN
08

Pisces

THE FISHES

Two fish tied by a ribbon, fleeing the monster Typhon. The spring equinox now rests in their waters.

HOUSE OF NEPTUNEη PISCIUM · AUTUMN
MOON REGISTRY

412 moons. Zero boring ones.

Hover a world to bring it into the light. Filter by parent planet — every card is a live ORRERY index entry.

22 KM
Phobos
Mars · Inner moon

Spirals 1.8 m closer to Mars every year — doomed to one day shatter into a ring.

12 KM
Deimos
Mars · Outer moon

So small its entire sky-span from Mars' surface would fit behind your thumb.

3,474 KM
Luna
Earth · The Moon

Once a year it hides the Sun entirely. The only other world humans have ever walked.

3,643 KM
Io
Jupiter · Galilean

The most volcanic world known — lava fountains reach 500 km into space.

3,122 KM
Europa
Jupiter · Galilean

Hides a subsurface ocean with twice the water of all Earth's seas combined.

5,268 KM
Ganymede
Jupiter · Galilean

Bigger than Mercury, and the only moon with its own magnetic field.

4,821 KM
Callisto
Jupiter · Galilean

The most cratered surface in the solar system — a four-billion-year archive.

5,150 KM
Titan
Saturn · Giant

Methane rain carves river valleys under a thick orange haze. Prebiotic chemistry, live.

504 KM
Enceladus
Saturn · Icy

Vents salty water geysers straight into space, feeding Saturn's E-ring.

1,527 KM
Rhea
Saturn · Icy

May own a whisper-thin ring of its own — the first ringed moon ever suspected.

472 KM
Miranda
Uranus · Icy

A patchwork world with cliff faces twice the height of Everest.

1,158 KM
Ariel
Uranus · Icy

The brightest — and possibly youngest-surfaced — of Uranus' five great moons.

1,578 KM
Titania
Uranus · Icy

Canyons nine times deeper than the Grand Canyon scar its frozen face.

2,707 KM
Triton
Neptune · Captured

Orbits backwards and geysers nitrogen at −235 °C. A captured Kuiper Belt world.

420 KM
Proteus
Neptune · Inner

One of the darkest moons known, hiding in Neptune's glare until Voyager 2 found it.

1,212 KM
Charon
Pluto · Binary

So large that Pluto and Charon spin around a point hanging in space between them.
