SpaceAge

Hello,

a few days ago, I saw a tweet renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson:
It was his birthday on that day, so in astrophysical fashion he wrote how old is he on Mercury and Saturn (because every planet in the solar system takes longer / shorter time than Earth for the entire orbit around the Sun). Inspired by this, I made a small web application that based on the inputted date (birthday, anniversary) returns a number of years and days on each planet within the system. It is also possible to see where some planets were in relation to the Sun, i.e. at which stage of their orbit they were at your birthday. Size of the planets on the page are relative to each other as well as their orbits, while the Sun is scaled down for obvious reasons :) For the best results, it is recommended to use a device with larger screen, however, app has been optimized for smartphones as well. Feel free to reply to this post with any problems you've encountered or general suggestions. I am aware of slightly poorer performance with Firefox, but Chrome and Edge seem to work well. I've tested the app in Google Chrome & Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, along with Chrome on iOS 10.

Try it out

PS: Many thanks @comathi for the background image and consultation in the making! (Thank you, sir!)

PS: Could we get embed tweet BBCode? It shouldn't be too hard to implement as tweet HTML can be obtained in JSON format from following URL:
Code: Select all
https://publish.twitter.com/oembed?url=<url_to_tweet>
