Orbita - Explore Space in 3D

Orbita is a space atlas you can fly through. Start on a living Earth and travel out to the planets, the Milky Way and the galaxies around it - everything at its real place and time.

EARTH
• A 3D globe or flat map with day and night, relief and city lights
• Live clouds from weather satellites and the aurora forecast
• Total and partial solar eclipses with their paths across the map
• Fireballs - bright meteors recorded entering the atmosphere
• Thousands of internet radio stations placed on the map: tap a dot and listen; the radio keeps playing with the screen off

SATELLITES
• Every tracked object in orbit - the ISS, Starlink, GPS, weather satellites, debris - moving in real time
• Tap one to see its orbit and what it can see

THE SKY THROUGH YOUR PHONE
• Point your phone at the sky and see the stars, constellations, planets and the Moon over the camera picture

THE SOLAR SYSTEM
• The planets and their moons, dwarf planets, comets and spacecraft on their true orbits
• The real Sun from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory
• Magnetic fields, structure cutaways of the planets and a clock to run time forwards or back

THE MILKY WAY AND BEYOND
• Fly through our galaxy: its arms, the stars around the Sun from Gaia, star clusters and nebulae in true 3D
• Visit Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the centre
• The Local Group: Andromeda, the Magellanic Clouds and dozens of dwarf galaxies

HONEST DATA
Every card says what is measured, what is derived and what is a model. Data that is out of date is not shown rather than guessed. Sources are listed in the app.

FREE AND FULL VERSION
Everything is open for 7 days. After that the globe and the internet radio stay free, and a single one-time purchase unlocks the rest for good - no subscription, no ads.
