Beautiful, Hypnotic...

AjBezark · 12 years ago

This is lovely! Beautiful to watch and hypnotizing to play with. Turning the mechanism on and off creates two very different experiences. Just a few suggestions that might help make this pretty app even better: - Allow export to video! It would be great to capture and save a sequence for playback later. - Make the planet models even more detailed! I’d love to zoom in close and see actual topographic data. - Enable more camera control! Let us roll the camera, and let us move the camera below the solar “equator.” Still, a terrific app at a very nice price. Thanks!

Really quite lovely.

The principle is simple enough, and the presentation is very nice. Its an orrery, but with considerably more élan than you might remember from your school days. Very nice just to look at, and the addition of actual science and astronomy put it right over the top.
