• 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!
