Features & Capabilities

Our Galaxy is a Chrome extension and 3D atlas designed for both amateur astronomers and educators. It visualizes the three-dimensional locations of deep-sky objects in and around the Milky Way, helping users understand their physical properties and how they relate to the Galaxy's disk and halo. The interactive interface lets you pan, zoom, and move through space to grasp object positions and distances.

Additionally, it illustrates the Galaxy's structure—the thin disk, thick disk, galactic bulge, and stellar halo—providing an intuitive sense of scale, luminosity, and spatial relationships. A powerful educational tool for outreach and classroom demonstrations, it complements observations and is also available as a macOS app.

User Reviews

Users overwhelmingly praise Our Galaxy for its immersive 3D visualization of the Milky Way and deep space, which places Earth in a clear cosmic context. The app is valued as an educational, perspective-shifting tool that helps audiences grasp the galaxy's size and the location of objects relative to us. It is free and offers detailed modelling, though some reviews note navigational quirks and wish for geo-linked night-sky features or broader object exploration.
Pros
  • Three-dimensional visualization of the Milky Way and deep space objects providing strong spatial context.
  • Helps users understand our place in the universe with a big-picture perspective.
  • Educational value and teaching utility for astronomy and star parties.
  • Detailed, accurate modelling of the galaxy's size and structure.
  • Free to use with good value for money.
