After almost 15 hours I FINALLY have a working simulation of every single solar system we know of so far! Honestly the last hour was the most GRUESOME because I faced sooo many errors when trying to deploy to web I had to change a lot of stuff in code but here we are! You can run this in the web or locally on your computer and you can also edit the project to use other exoplanet catalogues, such as NASA’s Exoplanet Archive. When the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope stars sending us back data, I will definitely be looking forward to upgrading this project!!

really cool project!How did you make that many models for all the xoplanets? was it in te datases?
Yes! I fetched data from each solar system via the Open Exoplanet Catalogue and according to how many planets orbit each sun and other properties, I rendered the solar system. Everything is explained in the github repo of this project if you want more info.
