Solar System - Semirealistic / Description

This is an interactive model of the solar system that is quite but not entirely realistic. It is free for non-commercial use has no ads and is a lot of fun for kids and adults alike.

The vast distances and differences in space and time that are present in the real solar system can make observation boring or intimidating. This model contains real data and real orbital math; but distances and differences in space and time are algorithmically reduced to make the exploration experience more interesting and fun.

Other aspects of the solar system (those that do not make the experience less fun) are modeled quite accurately.

Key features:
• all major (and some minor) celestial objects of the solar system with real characteristics
• real high-resolution textures mostly from NASA or some derivative thereof (dwarf planets past Pluto have fictitious textures)
• realistic Milky Way background
• ability to focus on zoom and pan around celestial objects
• real (or closely approximated) orbital motion
• non-linear (logarithmic-ish) distances and differences in size
• dynamic and non-linear time scale including "time zoom" feature which makes time slow down as you zoom into an object
• looks nice on tablets as well as phones
• highly optimized for GPUs to produce a smooth experience even on relatively low-end devices
• panel showing basic information about the focused object with absolute values and values relative to Earth's or Moon's
• nice ambient audio to match the mood of space exploration
• James Webb Space Telescope including its orbit around L2
• a curious astronaut
• super cool "flight of the comet" experience
• demo mode that traverses through all celestial objects.
