fully terminal based satellite tracking. true 3d rendering, raytraced lighting and realtime updates. made with no gl of any kind, everything is drawn into terminal with with text and ANSI escape codes

to clear up some misconceptions, this isn't an image generator. this a first person, 3d terminal solar system simulation that you can fly around in. it renders in real time and all in the terminal

the relative planetary distances are to scale, the relative planet radii are to scale, but the radii / distance is not, if that makes sense...
additionally, the sun is sized down. it isn't to scale with anything
the planet's relative positions (euler angles) are all correct as of 01-01-2025 via NASA JPL Horizons. eventually this will will auto fetch the positions and update on its own
