Live heliocentric state
Where is 1I/‘Oumuamua now?
Current geometric position and velocity relative to the Sun, expressed in the ecliptic J2000 reference frame. The display updates whenever this page is opened.

Reading the plot: this is a top-down view of the ecliptic plane. Radial distance is logarithmically compressed so that the terrestrial planets, giant-planet orbits and distant 1I/‘Oumuamua can be shown together. Its plotted direction is preserved, but distances are not linear.

Preferred source: NASA/JPL Horizons, Sun-centred geometric vectors, ecliptic J2000, AU and days. If the live service cannot be reached, the page uses a labelled two-body propagation of the published JPL orbit. The fallback is suitable for visualisation, not precision navigation.
