This is how the view starts out when you launch Asterank. This serves as an interactive 3D visualization of the inner solar system. The brightest dot is the sun and the blue ring is Earth's orbit.
For more details, there are a large amount of asteroids that you can see displayed in the visualization as well as a graph above. The graph also hold data on the economic appraisals of space mining prospects.
This is the completely zoomed out view of what is a virtual snow globe of the North Pole. You can see the snow formations at the top ready to drop.
Here is a zoomed in view of inside the virtual snow globe. There are virtual Christmas trees of different sizes that luminate. This screenshot was taken a couple minutes after the first, so the snow that was accumulated at the top is starting to show up at this level.
Another interactive space visualization but the focus here is on the known stars of the universe. This goes as far as showing the real location of 100,000 stars. This view is how it starts after you zoom in a considerable amount.
There is also a mini-animation that you can follow where you start one the Sun of our solar system, and it begins to zoom out further and further with explanations of what you are seeing.
