Navigate in space estimating real movement of space bodies.

The Solar Model is real-time modeling of solar system. It allows user to navigate in space, to control time counting (speed-up time flow), and estimate real movement of space bodies like planets, dwarf planets, and moons. It also allows user to bind camera to space objects (for example, you can look from Moon on Earth in real time flow). Solar Model renders beautiful 3D space environment. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Pros

Cons
not easy to be used by small learners
Summary
I liked this product soooooo much because it helped me to give my children and students a detailed idea about the way we see things from space
Cool looking, but some serious scientific errors

Pros
Great looking and free.
Cons
Thought I could use it in astronomy class. Unfortunately some very serious oversights, such as the planets are orbiting in the wrong direction, the Earth rotates in the wrong direction, etc. Cool, but wrong. Also, the planet scales are exaggerated, which is understandable for visualizations, as long as we can "turn off" this feature when needed for correct perspectives.<p>I was really disappointed, because I thought I had finally found the right tool for teaching astronomy. Close, but no cigar...yet. Even if the writers will fix only a few of the simple things (such as orbit directions), this could really be something!<p>Be my hero!
