Use this explorer when you want to see the real event that was detected in both gravitational waves and light, and why that combination mattered.
The numbers side by side
| Aspect | Kilonova 3D Explorer | Typical alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Install size | 0 MB - runs in the browser | Desktop astronomy software varies |
| Price | USD 0 | Often paid software |
| GW170817 gamma delay | 1.74 seconds after merger signal | News article without event scrub |
- Showing the real 1.74-second gamma-ray delay that tightened the gravity-speed-equals-light-speed constraint
- Explaining where heavy elements like gold and platinum actually come from
- Contrasting a neutron-star merger's real light show with a black-hole merger's total darkness
This is an educational visualization with a schematic inspiral and an illustrative gamma-ray jet angle - the real jet was not pointed at Earth for this event.
