Satellite View Of Our Solar System

It also allows you to see all the stars and constellations.

Satellite view of our solar system.

The solar system consists of the eight planets that orbit our sun and other celestial bodies such as moons comets asteroids minor planets and dust and gas. Nasa s interstellar boundary explorer ibex has for the first time mapped out the structure of this tail which is shaped like a four leaf clover. With lots of 3d features this application allows you to explore the solar system with many basic facts thrown in. It also includes information on the diameter mass and orbital period of each body and also a diagram showing the orbit of each body from the sun.

The moon has a very thin atmosphere called an exosphere. The moon s presence helps stabilize our planet s wobble which helps stabilize our climate. Nasa s real time science encyclopedia of deep space exploration. The smallest features that can be discerned are 2 5 kilometers in size.

A little more than a year later the last gasps of the dying wind reached voyager 1 which had crossed over. There are rugged mountains several kilometers high layered materials forming plateaus and many irregular depressions called volcanic calderas. The solar wind surge reached voyager 2 while it was still just inside our solar system. The moon is earth s only natural satellite and the fifth largest moon in the solar system.

This simulated view of our solar system runs on real data. The position of the planets moons and spacecraft are shown where they are right now. Solar system scope is a model of solar system night sky and outer space in real time with accurate positions of objects and lots of interesting facts. The diagram above shows all the planets and dwarf planets and also the moon and the asteroid belt in order from the sun.

The moon s distance from earth is about 240 000 miles 385 000km. Io the most volcanic body in the solar system is seen in the highest resolution obtained to date by nasa s galileo spacecraft. Nasa satellite provides first view of the solar system s tail washington like a comet the solar system has a tail. Sun is considered.

We hope you will have as much fun exploring the universe with our app as do we while making it.
