Credits & Research

Sources used in this project

Planet facts are summarized from NASA Science pages. The local texture files in images/textures/, the Saturn ring effect, spaceship SVG, HUD interface, starfield canvas, and ambient audio are included as project assets for this website. NASA pages were used as visual references so the planet colors and surface details stay close to the real solar system.
