Solar Walk - 3D Solar System model

★ SPECIAL LIMITED TIME SALE - STAR WALK, SOLAR WALK & GEO WALK ARE ONE DOLLAR OFF! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! ★

Enhanced for iOS 5 with the ability of the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S to wirelessly mirror its screen to an Apple TV 2.

The first app in the AppStore with real 3D TV Support (*the feature works only on 3D TVs)

The NEW version presents 3D models of the most well-known man-made satellites like ISS, Hubble, Suzaku, Envisat, and others together with breathtaking impressions of flying over the Earth on the satellite (see our latest youtube video).

This 3D Solar System model enables you to navigate through space and time, observe all the planets in close-up, learn their trajectories, inner structure, history of their exploration, points of interest and more. Use 3D mode to get a more realistic experience and zoom out to view and spin the entire Galaxy!

WHAT EXPERTS SAY:

Instead of exploring the night sky and deep space, you get to tour our Solar system in luscious 3D graphics. The iPad version is breathtaking with crisp graphics and beautiful color. The smooth finger controls combined with the spectacular graphics make this a perfect demo for the iPad. Dragging your finger to fly around the planets is a bit intoxicating, and I'm impressed with the smooth animation. © Mel Martin, TUAW.

While Star Walk will help you find and explore information about the stars, Solar Walk is designed to do the same with planets. The app features a beautiful and accurate simulation of the Solar system, complete with all of the planets orbiting trails, and an adjustable clock so that you can see where Mars will be in 2029, if you so choose. © Mike Schramm, TUAW.

ATTENTION!
Mind that to use the 3D mode you will need a pair of cyan-red 3D glasses. And, yes, we know that Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but by popular vote it has been added to the Solar System Model.
