The position of the planets moons and spacecraft are shown where they are right now. The solar system is the gravitationally bound system of the sun and the objects that orbit it either directly or indirectly.

Neptune is one of two ice giants in the outer solar system the other is uranus. This simulated view of our solar system runs on real data.
