Internet Laboratory "Ksan" in Desktop \ Screen Savers
Basic planetary data in the form interesting for both kids and adults is given alongside. It is planet name and astronomical sign, distance from the Sun, dimensions, information on satellites, atmosphere and internal composition.Developers goal in creating this screensaver was to make Solar system astronomy known to schoolkids in an easy and fun way.Parents simply need to install an educational screensaver on kid`s computer. Then wait for...
Have you ever dreamed of getting a chance to see the rings of Saturn, the distant Pluto, the Asteroid Belt, Jupiter, Mars and of course the mother Earth from space? This screensaver is an outstanding 3D model of the solar system. Every planet is there along with its satellites and even a small...
Jupiter is twice as massive as all the other planets of the Solar system combined. At the same time it rotates faster than any other planet - in less than 10 hours. Its low density indicates that the planet is composed primarily of the lightest elements - hydrogen and helium. Colorful latitudinal...
Far far away, at the very edge of the Solar System lies Pluto, the ninth planet from the Sun. It is not only much smaller and less massive than every other planet, it is also smaller and less massive than seven moons of other planets. It has a highly eccentric orbit which takes it inside the...
The Sun is the most prominent feature in our Solar System. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths. The Sun's outer...
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and the second-smallest planet in the solar system!It is about the same size as our Moon. Mercury travels around the Sun faster than any other planet. That is how it got its name. It was named after Mercury, the swift messenger of the gods in ancient...
StarStrider is a software planetarium that utilizes the latest in 3D-technology in order to show you not only the planets and satellites of our solar system, but also the more than 100 000 stars from the Hipparcos catalogue, all in real-time 3D. You'll also find galaxies, nebulae, supernova...
Space Explorer 1.0 is an astronomically and physically realistic interactive 3D application for simulating and exploring solar systems just like a real astronaut.Features:* Completely customizable: Create your own solar systems* Astronomically correct rendering of planets and stars* Simulation of...
Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun, and the outermost gas giant in our solar system. Interestingly enough due to Pluto's eccentric orbit, Neptune is sometimes the furthest planet from the Sun. Orbiting so far from it the planet receives very little heat. Its surface temperature is -218...
The Distant Suns-Grand Tour 3D screen saver is a high-speed full motion solar-system simulator using OpenGL technology and accelerated graphics. The positions and rotations of each of the planets and their moons are accurate to the current date and time! (As a result, this can also serve as a...
