This project renders debris clouds in the solar system. When the Earth passes through a cloud, we experience a meteor shower!
The project is online at: https://www.meteorshowers.org/. It uses data from NASA CAMS, and was built with feedback from project leader Peter Jenniskens.
This is a modified version of Asterank's 3D code, which is another project of mine.
npm install
or yarn install
to install dependencies.
Run node showers.js
to start the app on port 8988 (http://localhost:8988/)
A very rudimentary JS bundle is used to prepare the app for production. Running ./build.sh
will generate a new bundle file. Add this file to git and update the bundle in index.html.
