Atlas — the interactive world

This address names a record on the Solar System, so the world opened there rather than on Earth. Open Earth →

Encounter order — not trajectory

  1. 1. 1979-03-05 · Jupiter · flybyVoyager 1 closest approach to Jupiter
  2. 2. 1979-03-08 · Io · JupiterActive volcanism found on Io
  3. 3. 1980-11-12 · Saturn · Titan · flybyVoyager 1 passes Saturn and Titan, and leaves the plane of the planets

An encounter sequence is the order the records give, not a flight path. Atlas holds no trajectory for these missions and draws none.

Dates are the operator’s mission record; none was network-verified in this production run, and the record says so.

Schematic · log-compressed · ranked discs · not an ephemeris — full statement →

Schematic view: distances are log-compressed (to true scale Neptune sits 30× Earth’s distance) and discs are ranked by size, not to scale. Positions computed from JPL mean orbital elements for today — an orientation good to a few degrees, not an ephemeris.
