Discover Solar System, an immersive astronomy app that now combines two complementary tools:

🌍 An interactive 3D exploration of the Solar System

🌌 A live sky observation mode to locate celestial bodies visible from your location

Designed for learning, discovery, and scientific curiosity, the app helps you understand the sky… and then find it right above you.

🚀 Two modes, one universe
🔭 Mode 1 – 3D Exploration of the Solar System

Explore the Solar System in three dimensions, directly on your smartphone or tablet.

Manipulate the scene with your fingertips, observe the planets from every angle, zoom in, select a celestial body to view its detailed information, and understand the key characteristics of our cosmic environment in just a few seconds.

The planets' positions are synchronized with real astronomical data, providing a faithful representation of their location over time.

🌌 Mode 2 – Live Sky Observation

View the sky as it appears in real time from your location:

Location of the main visible celestial bodies

Dynamic orientation based on the device's position

Correspondence between the real sky and studied objects in the Solar System

This mode allows you to bridge the gap between scientific modeling and actual observation of the night or day sky.

⭐ App Philosophy

Solar System is designed to be:
✔️ Easy to use
✔️ Scientifically sound
✔️ Aesthetically pleasing
✔️ Fully interactive
✔️ Suitable for use in the classroom and at home

Some comparable apps exist, often developed with resource-intensive 3D engines and sometimes requiring payment. Solar System prioritizes a lightweight, fluid, and accessible approach, without intrusive advertising or locked features.
