Guide pages

43 pages in English and French, each answering one common search ("Where is the ISS?", "How far is Voyager 1?", "Moon phase today", "Spacecraft orbiting Mars", "Where are the dwarf planets?"…). Hubs at https://perigee.info/en/ and https://perigee.info/fr/.

  • Live answers, cards and tables computed in the browser, with the 3D view embedded, a ground-track map with the night side, and the data sources, age and typical accuracy.
  • Dashboard mode for classroom screens: full screen, large type, screen kept awake, reloads itself when the site is updated.
  • "My location" on the satellite and sky pages: upcoming passes over you, or tonight's sky, and a "You" marker in the 3D view. The location is rounded to about 1 km, stays in your browser and is never sent.
  • A page listing every data source and software credit.

App
