Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Planets, an app by Microsys Com Ltd., best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
About the App
Planets from Microsys Com Ltd. is a hands-on 3D tour of our Solar System that feels like piloting a tiny spaceship. You can swing past the Sun, orbit each world, and get right up close to the details—rings, storms, craters, all of it. It’s an Education app that keeps things simple and visual, so you can explore first and read up when you want context. Prefer a bigger screen? It also runs nicely on a PC through BlueStacks.
