You can zoom into any planetary system, explore how the night sky and the constellations look from the surface of other planets, or zoom out and see other local galaxies and galaxy clusters as well as the cosmic microwave background.
This app allows you to explore all discovered exoplanets, their measured physical properties, their location in the night sky, and their host stars.
Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars beyond our own solar system. This app allows you to explore all discovered exoplanets, their measured physical properties, their location in the night sky, and their host stars. An interactive model shows you the entire observable universe, all the way from the surface of the Earth to the cosmic microwave background. This app has been developed by a professional astronomer. Main features: * Interactive visualizations and animations. * Physical properties of all detected exoplanets and their host stars, updated on a daily basis. * Stunning 3D model of our Milky Way showing the location of all known exoplanets. You can zoom into any planetary system, explore how the night sky and the constellations look from the surface of other planets, or zoom out and see other local galaxies and galaxy clusters as well as the cosmic microwave background. * Visualizations of this app orbits and the habitable zone. * Choose between the Open this app Catalogue, the NASA this app Archive, and the Extrasolar Planet Encyclopedia (this app.eu). * Push notifications are sent out whenever a new planet is discovered. * Augmented reality sky map: point the phone towards the sky to find an this app! * Interactive multi-touch correlation plots. * Solar System planets, major moons, and asteroids are included. * Explore S-Stars orbiting the black hole at the Galactic Center of our Milky Way * Background information about exoplanets and detection methods. * Full support of planets in binary, triple, quadruple systems and orphan planets. * Real-time ray tracing on the GPU.

I've enjoyed this app for several years and regularly use it to show my friends around the solar system, galaxy, and universe. The number and variety of exoplanets found so far is amazing and I love wandering the database looking for new and interesting systems. Some of my favorite usually include Jupiter size planets that are in comet like orbits. I know they are horrible on the chance of life but they gotta look cool. Screaming in at huge speeds whipping through perigee with crazy chemistry boiling away and the solar winds stripping the lighter stuff off in what must occasionally be an amazing tail! Anyways, check out the app.

This app has been absolutely awe inspiring and profoundly important to me for years now. There’s no field more at the forefront of human ability and human significance than that of exoplanetology. The exoplanets app has detailed information about thousands of extrasolar objects. You can even virtually explore our Milky Way galaxy, while staying up to date on the latest this app discoveries, nearly in real time. Here’s a big thank you to the apps designers and for making it free! I bought the KOI add-on just to show my appreciation because The this app app has literally changed my life!

Today is a special day that I wish I could be celebrating. Unfortunately many places around the world don’t celebrate this sacred and amazing holiday so I am currently looking for a suitable off-world alternative where everyday is 4/20. So far I’ve found a planet only a handful of light years away that seems like a good candidate. Hopefully I’ll be in contact with some benefactors to make this a reality. If you wish to join me on the trip to “Planet 420” you just gotta bring some “grass” to terraform the planet with no additional cost to you. This app is amazing
