CloudLabs Planetary system
Read full descriptionHide full description
In this simulation, you are asked to calculate some measurements of celestial bodies, such as area, perimeter, and volume. To do so, a holographic projector is available for the observation and measurement of the necessary distances. The correct calculation of these properties will help the astronauts learn more about the new planetary system.

Most "space" apps show you renders, simulations, or a wall of data. EarthView does something different: it shows you the real Solar System — and gives it a voice. It opens on Earth, live. The natural-color imagery comes straight from NASA's EPIC camera aboard the DSCOVR satellite, a million miles away at the Sun–Earth L1 point, looking back at the fully lit face of our planet. The frames auto-play, so you watch Earth actually rotate through the day. No telescope. No CGI. The real planet, as it looked today. Then start the journey. A calm AI guide flies you outward through the Solar System — Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune — and the Sun, narrating each world as you arrive, in genuine NASA mission imagery. Pick a theme and it plans the route for you. Curious about what you're seeing? Ask the guide — it answers about the exact world on your screen. - A narrated, AI-guided tour — every world spoken as you arrive - Live, auto-rotating Earth from NASA DSCOVR·EPIC, refreshed daily - Live Sun and Earth time-lapses from real feeds (SDO, GOES) — not loops - Real Mars rover imagery and curated NASA stills for every planet - Ask the guide anything, grounded in what you're looking at - No account, no ads, no in-app purchases — opens straight on Earth EarthView isn't a data tool or a research app. It's a small, beautiful window on the real Solar System, with a guide in your ear — the overview effect, in your pocket. (Note: NASA's EPIC imagery publishes with a short delay, so "live" means the latest real captured set, refreshed daily — not a real-time video feed.)
