What You're Supporting
Solar Explorer started as a weekend experiment — a childhood memory, a what-if, and an AI partner. It grew into a complete solar system simulator in a single weekend: all 8 planets, the Sun, Pluto, and 40+ moons — each with procedural shaders, real orbital mechanics, and textures from NASA missions.
This project is a live demonstration of the ideas in The Doodle Principle — that curiosity, creativity, and AI can produce real things. Things worth exploring. Your support helps keep that exploration going.
