1.1 About Solar System Simulator

The Solar System Simulator Educational Edition software was designed to simulate astronomical phenomena of the solar system. Based on accurate astronomical data, it reproduces the motions of the solar system (the sun, planets, satellites, comets, asteroids, etc.) three-dimensionally on your PC.
While traveling across time between the past, present, and future, you can move freely to any cosmic location in space or any celestial body in the solar system and experience the various astronomical phenomena that take place in the solar system.

The menu list will allow easy selection of various astronomical phenomena. The operation panel will allow you to perform operations and settings freely so that you can enjoy your own special voyage through the solar system.

[Example 1] The preset scene "Solar Eclipse" shows three-dimensional scenes of the solar eclipse as seen from space and the ground.

[Example 2] The preset scene "Shooting Stars" shows three-dimensional scenes of the Tempel-Tuttle comet and Leonids Meteor as seen from space and the ground.
