Celestial imagery
The Moon uses surface color and elevation data from NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio. Jupiter and Saturn use adapted maps by INOVE / Solar System Scope, resized and compressed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. The landing illustrates the reading experience; your personal chart is calculated from your own birth details.
The distant sky
The spherical Milky Way map uses Deep Star Maps 2020 by NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio, with Gaia DR2 data from ESA/Gaia/DPAC. Its orientation is illustrative, not your calculated birth sky.
Models and motion
The articulated instrument, satin ceramic housing and optical glass were created for TryMyFate. Engraved bands frame the Moon before opening a sightline to the planets. Three.js renders the scene; GSAP and Lenis coordinate the typography and continuous journey.
Sound
The optional soundtrack is an original generative composition of soft sustained chords and quiet melodic notes. It is synthesized in your browser and starts only when you enable sound.
Type
Fraunces by Phaedra Charles and Flavia Zimbardi, and Hanken Grotesk by Alfredo Marco Pradil. These typefaces are self-hosted under the SIL Open Font License.
Places
City search uses Nominatim and data from OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License.
The mark
The TMF monogram is drawn for TryMyFate.
