A NASA photo sends Jabrils building a 3D space viewer
An upload-free week puts his Artemis II coding project back in focus, alongside experiments with game-playing AI.

Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 1:32The planned viewer will map Orion's trajectory and place mission photographs along a timeline.
- 3:40Jabrils adapts an existing repository to combine photographs, telemetry and camera metadata.
- 4:47The misplaced photos come from timestamp offsets: the metadata was already recorded in UTC.
- 5:54The completed tool includes full-resolution photo overlays, trajectory scrubbing and camera lens filters.
- 8:18Jabrils attributes the mystery photo's surprising spatial appearance to a 14mm wide-angle lens.
Jabrils posted nothing new this week, but his older projects brought in roughly 3,100 views. Subscribers held steady, and daily viewing is close to its usual level: a modest week for a channel whose interests run from machine-learning games to puzzling space photography.
The most active of those older uploads is "Making a space app because this NASA photo breaks my brain." Its starting point is a question about the apparent positions of Earth and the Moon in an Artemis II photograph. Rather than leave it at that, Jabrils builds a way to explore the spacecraft's journey in three dimensions.
Hank Green's Artemis Timeline provides inspiration, but Jabrils wants a spatial perspective as well as a timeline. He adapts an existing code repository to place photographs and camera information along Orion's trajectory. There is a suitably programmer-shaped detour: the pictures initially appear in the wrong places because of a timestamp conversion that turns out to be unnecessary.
The finished viewer lets him scrub through the route and compare camera lenses. His answer to the original photographic puzzle is a wide-angle lens, not strange celestial geometry.
The AI project we covered in October, "I spent 4 weeks building an AI to humiliate one player," also continues to pick up views, with "Top AI Models Play Werewolf LIVE" further back. The space viewer currently draws more daily views than either, giving this week's small audience a different side of Jabrils' code-and-design curiosity.
