Guess where in the solar system a rover panorama or orbital view was taken
A free, no-account guessing game that turns about 14,000 NASA rover panoramas into something a space fan, or their child, can play in five minutes.
spaceguesser takes the location-guessing format to other worlds. Half the rounds drop you into one of roughly 14,000 NASA panoramas from Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, Perseverance and other probes; the rest show an orbital view from the maker's Three.js solar system map. There is a daily challenge, a tutorial and multiplayer, and no accounts. The maps are also published as an npm package. The maker reports Opus 5.5 scored 14.8k of 25k on one daily round.
