OrbitLab Information

Look up. Then find out why. OrbitLab is an astronomy learning platform for curious people from about twelve years old upward. Not for professional astronomers, who have better tools - and not for small children either. It is for the person who saw something in the sky, or in a photograph, and wanted to know what was actually going on. That audience is old enough to be insulted by being talked down to, and new enough to be lost by a paper. Nearly every decision in the product comes from trying to sit in that gap: real numbers, real images, and then the time taken to explain them. WHAT'S INSIDE • Guided learning paths through the solar system, stars, galaxies, black holes and the physics underneath them • A sky map that shows what is actually above your city tonight, computed from real ephemeris data rather than canned answers • A full track on Arab and Islamic astronomy - al-Battani, al-Biruni, al-Sufi, Ibn al-Shatir, Ulugh Beg - as a scientific tradition, not a footnote • Modern Astronomy: the UAE's road to space, from DubaiSat-1 to the Hope Probe • Quizzes, progress and printable lesson plans for teachers HOW IT'S BUILT English, French and Arabic, with full right-to-left layout - Arabic is the product, not a translation layer bolted on afterwards. It works offline, installs from the browser like an app, and runs on the kind of hardware a school actually owns. Those aren't features on a list. They decide who gets to use it. No adverts. No trackers. No analytics on children. Nothing to buy. Free at orbitlab.ae
