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.

I love this, I love exploring through space, I love all the details in it! It is like Space engine but for mobile (I guess). But there is this problem I'm facing, whenever I get to Night Sky and using the default control (the one you have to control by moving your phone) is stuck facing the North and South, I will be glad if you guys fix it. Overall, this is a great app!

Easy to control simulation speed and perspective. Very nice for visualising the recent great conjunction of Jupiter & Saturn. But how do I save the simulation as a little video for sharing? Edit. Ok, I see it is under consideration but not in top 10 of requested features. Very nice to see the requested feature list. Others apps can grab a video as work around Edit 2: click upgrade -> "purchasing not available"

Perfect app for teaching kids about the solar system and more. There are so many posters and books showing the planets lined up next to each other, giving the impression that they are close together. This app shows the reality of how vast and empty space is. It's easy to navigate, fast and the images are great. You can even use it to find planets , like with Stellarium etc. Really nice work.
