PlanetWerks, Opera application V2.6 Jan 4, 2009 6:33:36 AM

An interactive, educational and accurate Solar System simulation

A planetarium on your Desktop!

PlanetWerks is a three-dimensional widget-sized tour through our solar system. A sophisticated control system brings you amazing views and fun facts! Movement in PlanetWerks 2 incorporates accurate 2-body motion; so objects orbit the sun the same way they do in the actual solar system!

Screenshots


Also included, switch to a linear scale model to see just how vast the solar system really is. Four levels of precision rotation and zoom control to help get those great views! Then click planets and satellites for fun facts and statistics!

2.6 Changelog:

  • Fixes for updated Opera widget security specifications

You have been warned, turn around
A secret planet has been found
Press the key for a vowel sound
An icon revealed, red and round
(Yeah, I'm not good at this)

This is so damn cool!! Celestia inside a widget (OK this is an exaggeration but the widget is supercool). I love anything to do with space... as far as I am concerned this is the best widget ever. :cheers:

I don't have an external grafix card so this widget takes 100% CPU usage, but who cares, its the entire solar system on your desktop. :yes:

Stellarium next?

Ooooooh! Pretty shiny things!
Seriously, that is one good-looking and interesting widget. Great to pin to the desktop with the background off, although it is tricky to click things without the background.
