You can visualize all confirmed exoplanets using NASA's Eyes on the Exoplanets software.

http://eyes.nasa.gov/eyes-on-exoplanets.html

Requires download and install.

OS X and Windows only :(

Disclaimer: I am a developer of this software for NASA.

First off, thanks for creating this. I definitely appreciate that this was created as a native app instead of trying to do it as a web app (which, from personal experience with WebGL, I imagine would have had terrible performance).

I doubt this is the best channel for bug reports, but I thought I'd mention the launcher does not work for me on Windows 7. I had to run explorer-win64.exe directly.

FWIW I've been working on a similar WebGL visualization for fun (http://uncharted.bpodgursky.com/) obviously much more primitive than the NASA version.

I've been pretty amazed by what WebGL can handle (obviously it's hopeless on mobile though).
