    Real-time Solar System map plots 526,000 asteroids●Show HN: Real-time Solar System with 526k asteroids and all tracked satellitesYhnEnvironmentEnergy4071 h ago

    A developer has launched an interactive, real-time visualization of the Solar System that renders roughly 526,000 asteroids along with every tracked artificial satellite. Users can explore orbital positions of planetary bodies and spacecraft as they are right now. The project drew strong interest online, with commenters praising the scale of data and the technical effort behind rendering so many objects smoothly in a browser.

    Graphics programmer Aras Pranckevičius has published a blog post describing a fast blur algorithm that supports an animated radius. The piece walks through the rendering technique and how to vary blur strength smoothly in real time, a common need in games and UI effects. It is drawing attention among graphics and rendering developers who follow implementation-level performance work.
