great visualization however, the planet size do not seem to be to scale to their distances I would recommend adding a realistic view, to show the real distances and planet sizes it is humbling to see the actual size of the sun and the planets and the vast distances between them

It’s inherently difficult to picture the dynamic physics of the universe and the fact thar our solar system is spiraling the center of a galaxy in an expanding universe. This app does it beautifully, with options that allow further exploration, right down to a cute human standing next to your location. The music and sound features make it an even richer experience. Being abroad fast-forward creates the corkscrew effect of this amazing ride through space. If you want to be creative, use iOS screen capture or screen recording to make your own video movie. The app designers have done a wonderful job of capturing physics and experience, making this a great educational tool and lots of fun. God’s Creation should humble and glorify his amazing work when we observe it in its amazing and complex reality. This app does that beautifully.

UPDATED: The movement of the stars is not correlated to the spin of the earth. It is showing the stars moving in relation to the speed of the sun and the earth chasing it. This goes against all mainstream claims that the stars are too far away to see parallax. The North Star would move if this model was true. Excellent job on the graphics but we don’t live on a cartoon ball flying through a space vacuum. Why do the stars move in this app because in reality they never change century after century. The stars and wandering stars circle above the stationary earth in reality.
