To Boldly Glow renders the solar system in real time, entirely in your browser via WebGPU — no plugins, no install, no backend. Planets sit at their true, currently computed positions rather than a fixed animation loop, so what you see reflects actual orbital mechanics. It's early and actively evolving — expect rough edges, and feedback is very welcome.
Explore your way
Pilot it yourself, or let the camera fly.
Orbit & free-fly camera
Orbit any body to inspect it up close, or switch to a free-fly camera and pilot through the system like a spacecraft.
Autopilot tour
Start the endless tour and the camera flies itself — cruising toward the nearest not-yet-visited planet, looping in close for a flyby, then continuing on, forever.
Real-time simulation clock
Speed time up, slow it down, or reverse it — watch orbits and rotations play out at any rate, computed from real orbital mechanics rather than pre-baked animation.

Free, open source, and still in beta.
