An early iOS prototype of Cosmos, built for a phone rather than a projector. Drift outward from the Sun to Neptune — thirty astronomical units of scrolling — or let the show carry you. The moons and the JunoCam gallery continue below the journey.
Which is where this one belongs. Open it full screen rather than in a frame.

This is a prototype, not a release. It is a design study for a phone app — every figure is read from the same static tables the decks use, and nothing is wired to a live source. Above 560px it draws its own device frame rather than the one on this page. The three production decks are unaffected by anything here.
Opens full-bleed on the Sun, then scrolls outward through all nine bodies to Neptune. Each opens a plate carrying the same figures as the Solar System deck. "Begin tonight's show" runs it hands-free instead, eight seconds a chapter.
All twenty-two, filterable by system, each disc captioned with radius and orbital period. A true-scale toggle sizes them against each other, and a pinch card sets the seven largest beside Mercury.
Thirty JunoCam frames developed by volunteers, filterable by region and by treatment. A draggable before/after seam makes the argument for processing in a single picture.
Provenance for the figures and imagery, typographic credits, and links out to Sol and the Mission Juno processing gallery.
