I created Asterank.com, a database of economic value of all the asteroids in our solar system. It condenses about 600,000 data points to the top 100, but the numbers can be pretty difficult to grasp. I sought to create a browser-based visualization of our solar system that illustrates its abundance of resources and mesmerizing beauty. Prior to this, I knew nothing about 3D graphics or WebGL.
