About this app

Three Observers compares the sky seen from three locations on Earth at the same instant. The simulation shows a globe alongside a flat-Earth model to observe how their geometry affects the apparent motion of stars.

The three observers can be moved. Sky and first-person views, synchronized orientation and firmament settings help examine differences between representations.

What you can do

  • Déplacer les trois observateurs.
  • Comparer les deux géométries.
  • Observer le ciel ou passer à la première personne.
  • Synchroniser l'orientation des vues.
