About this app

Solar System Scope is a fun way of Exploring, Discovering and Playing with the Solar System and Outer Space.

Welcome to the Space Playground

Solar System Scope (or just Solar) contains many views and celestial simulations, but most of all - it brings you closer to the furthest reaches of our world and lets you experience lots of fantastic space sceneries.

It aspires to be the most illustrative, easy to understand and simple to use space model.

3D Encyclopedia

In Solar’s unique encyclopedia you will find the most interesting facts about every planet, dwarf planet, every major moon and more – and everything is accompanied by realistic 3D visualizations.

Solar’s encyclopedia is available in 19 languages: English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. More languages are coming soon!

Nightsky Observatory

Enjoy Stars and constellation of the night sky as viewed from any given location on Earth. You can point your device at the sky to see all objects in their proper place, but you can also simulate Night sky in the past or in the future.

Now with advanced options that let you simulate ecliptic, equatorial and azimuthal line, or grid (among other things).

Scientific Instrument

Solar System Scope calculations are based on up-to-date orbital parameters published by NASA and let you simulate celestial positions at any given time.

For Everyone

Solar System Scope is well suited for all audiences and ages: It is enjoyed by space enthusiasts, teachers, scientists, but Solar is successfully used even by children of 4+ years of age!

Unique Maps

We are proud to present a very unique set of planetary and moon maps, that let you experience a true-color space as never before.

These accurate maps are based on NASA elevation and imagery data. Colors and shades of the textures are tuned according to true-color photos made by Messenger, Viking, Cassini and New Horizon spacecrafts, and the Hubble Space Telescope.

Basic resolution of these maps is for free – but if you would like the best experience, you can check out the highest quality, which is available with In-App purchase.

Ratings and reviews

Pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. I can't tell you how many other orrery apps I've downloaded that I ended up deleting. The nice thing about this is you can see the inner planets even when the solar system is zoomed all the way out. Basically the orbital scale is accurate, but the planets have been enlarged for visibility. The only thing I would add is an option to toggle on the names for the constellations in the background, and the ability to type in year rather than scroll.

Such a fun and useful app! Worth the $2.50 for some additional features and no ads. Can't wait to see how it evolves! Maybe planet surfaces, there's so much data on many of them it'd make it that much more immersive! . EDIT:After having this app for awhile, improvements to the view sky function such as the ability to use the viewfinder on the device to produce an overlay of the real-time positioning of components to show the user exactly what is where. +add social components for friends!

A MUST BUY IF YOU LOVE SPACE. The amount of information alone on just the planets and moons is staggering and accurate, but you can also view comets, spacecraft, constellations and much more. You can also change the date to see where everything was at the time. So far my favorite moment was changing the date all the way back to the '80s and seeing where Voyager 1 and 2 were (they are now in interstellar space some 44 years later). This program is seriously cool!
