Cosmolux

An orrery is a mechanical model of the solar system, illustrating the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons. Cosmolux brings this concept to life, focusing on the dynamic movement of Near-Earth Objects.

Near-Earth Objects pose potential threats to our planet, with over 34,000 known asteroids crossing Earth's orbital path. Understanding their trajectories is crucial for planetary defense strategies.

The world's largest global hackathon, bringing together diverse teams to solve challenges using NASA's open data. Cosmolux demonstrates innovative technology making astronomical data accessible.

Modern detection relies on ground-based telescopes and space observatories that continuously scan the sky. Advanced algorithms process observations to calculate precise orbits and assess collision probabilities.

Space exploration extends far beyond our solar system through exoplanet research, interstellar missions, and deep space observations that help us understand our place in the cosmos.

The future holds asteroid mining missions, advanced propulsion systems, and international cooperation. NEO research provides insights into the early solar system and valuable resources.
