Use an overlay to compare the orbits of planets in our solar system with those around other stars. You can instantly find out the time it would take to travel to each planetary system by car, jet plane, bullet train or starship.

The program is updated daily with the latest finds from NASA's Kepler mission and from ground-based observatories around the world as they hunt for planets like our own. With the click of a mouse, you can visit newly discovered gas giants, Earth-sized planets and “super Earths”-rocky like ours, but gargantuan. This fully rendered 3D universe is scientifically accurate, allowing you to zoom in for a close look at more than 1,000 exotic planets known to orbit distant stars.

“Eyes on Exoplanets” will fly you to any planet you wish-as long as it's far beyond our solar system.
