A live 3D orrery for your second monitor, driven by your actual Elite Dangerous journal files. Watches your journal in real time and renders scanned bodies as an interactive system view, back-filling missing scan data via the EDSM API. Built with Node.js and Three.js.

Elite Dangerous Orrery turns your second monitor into a live, real-time view of the star system you're currently in.

 

A Node.js watcher tails your Elite Dangerous journal files and feeds live events into a Vite/Three.js frontend, rendering bodies as you scan them. When journal data for a body is missing or incomplete, it falls back to the EDSM API to backfill system and body data.

 

  • Real-time updates from journal events, no manual refresh
  • Second-monitor friendly, always-on companion view
  • EDSM backfill for systems/bodies not fully scanned yet
