Get a "bird's eye view" of the planets revolving in orbit around the Sun pictured in proportion to their size and color. It is a bit hard but fun to find the little blue Earth and tiny Pluto, a dot on the edge of the solar system. But you can zoom in to get a larger view and even make your own solar system by adding planets one by one to an image of the Sun. Don't forget the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars as the asteroids circle the Sun too. Then go beyond the solar system to explore the universe by visiting quasars, galaxies, nebulae, and black holes.
