From the edge of space to the heart of Earth.One planet. A whole new perspective.
≈ 400 km above it all.
A little curiosity.A very long way to go.
Earth’s center, measured using its mean radius.Every direction from here leads up.

6,771 kilometers is a lot of scrolling.
This journey uses uneven, expanded landmark spacing, not a linear or logarithmic scale. The live counter interpolates linearly between adjacent landmark positions. Smaller distances get room to breathe; vast interior layers are compressed.
This is a composite expedition around the world, not one geographic drill path. Heights and ocean depths reference sea level. The Burj Khalifa’s 828 m is building height; the borehole and geological depths are measured below local ground or a representative surface. Earth’s center uses the mean radius.
≈ means approximate. Orbits, atmospheric layers, light penetration and geological boundaries vary. Values shown for them are representative; ranges are given where useful. Illustrations are interpretive and not to scale.
All artwork was drawn in code. The optional, synthesized soundscape is an artistic interpretation of each environment; space itself does not carry sound.
A journey made from science, drawn with a little imagination.
