On the theme of 3D space, I found this perfect model of our solar system. The music can be described in one word: epic. The navigation is smooth and easy, the models are brilliant, and you can even double-click planets to visit them.

SUNAEON, a Slovakian company specializing in flash animations, created this interactive model to popularize the idea of space.

“Our plans for the future include building the best portal for popularization and learning of astronomy with innovative features and with great benefit for every kind of user. ” -Mito, team leader

About

The Model consists of 3 main Views (Heliocentric, Geocentric and Panaromatic), including:
• Precise Positions of all Celestial Objects according to NASA Calculations
• Schematic Distances and Sizes for better understanding of Planet Surfaces and Motions
• a unique feature to Drag Planets through their Orbits
• a lot of interesting Settings which allow you to Observe particular Motions and Events
• Distance Calculator to measure distances between Planets even while in motion
• Earth Observatory set-up with which you can watch Celestial Happenings on your own Night Sky

SSS mean Astronomy for Everybody.”
