Description

Realistic solar system is reproduced with ARKit. You can reproduce famous space events such as Halley's Comet, Hayabusa 2, and Voyager Project etc.

This solar system simulator reflects actual planetary position information. When the app is launched, the sun is positioned 20 cm in front of the device, based on the device's position. Around it, the eight main planets of the solar system and the celestial body to be observed orbit. The orbits are displayed as if they were trajectories. The position of each planet is calculated based on actual values.
