What is this?
A one-of-a-kind celestial portrait - your name and birth date distilled into a unique three-body ballet that exists for you alone.

Your name and date of birth never leave your browser. They're used once - locally - to generate the orbit seed, then discarded when you close the page. We don't log, transmit, or store any personal data on our servers. If you choose to purchase a product, only the finished artwork file (which contains no personal details) is uploaded to our print partner for fulfilment; checkout information is handled entirely by that partner and is not stored here.
We use GoatCounter for basic, privacy-friendly analytics. This service doesn't use cookies, doesn't track you across websites, and only collects anonymous page view statistics to help us understand general usage patterns. View full privacy policy.
Can I download a video of my orbit?
Yes! After generating your cosmic signature, you can download it as either a static image
or an animated MP4 video. Videos include the full animation
and are perfect for sharing on social media.

Uses a custom Rust implementation with
nalgebra
for linear algebra and Cash-Karp adaptive step-size integration, based on
scijs/ode45-cash-karp.

Ricky Reusser's MIT-licensed notebook.
Video encoding uses h264-mp4-encoder for browser-based MP4 generation.
