For a limited time, the stunningly beautiful apps, Solar Walk – 3D Solar System model and Solar Walk – Saturn are free! Vito Technology Inc, the generous company who also developed the highly recognized Star Walk (highlighted here at iSource), brings outer space to your idevice with these universal apps.

While the Saturn app focuses primarily on the wise and second-largest planet in our solar system, the Solar System app brings the entire solar system to 3D viewing with cyan-red 3D glasses!

Additional features of the Solar System app include:

• GALAXY view – absolutely magical zoom out to view the whole galaxy option.

• TIME MACHINE – set any date you want including even minutes and take a travel through space and time.

• MOVIES – explanatory movie collection about the Earth’s phenomena.

• SATELLITES – real-time trajectories of the most interesting artificial Earth’s satellites.

• INFO about all planets – general info, its name, its mass, radius, distance to the sun, internal structure with the picture and science missions.

• MOONS of DIFFERENT PLANETS: select a planet like Earth, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars or Urano and observe how many moons they have and their track around the planet. Select one of the moons and learn.
