A Perfect educational tool for discovering the planets and their moons. This app is suitable for all ages.

Beautifully modelled with the Milky Way in the backdrop, this app is a dynamic three dimensional depiction of the solar system. It contains all eight planets along with the sun, pluto and major moons. The planets are shown in correct relative size and rotate on their axis. Planets revolve around the sun in correct direction.

Only the most current imagery is used and is updated as new imagery becomes available.

The user can look at the solar system in 3D and select planets merely through drag, and tap motions. Relevant information for each celestial body is presented to the user with the hope of fostering a true interest in science and astronomy.

The user can zoom in on each planet and pan around it in 3D. All texture maps are based on real NASA/ESA photos.

The Earth has the ISS, Hubble Space Telescope, and Soyuz-Apollo in orbit. The lunar excursion module is found approaching the moon.

Juno is orbited by the Galilean moons along with the Juno spacecraft.

The sounds of space have been added as recorded by NASA.
