Product Description:

The Planets is an application that puts 8 spinning planets of the Solar System on your desktop. They can be run all at once, or one at a time. Each planet also has a small information window giving a little story and data about itself.

What's new in this version:

Version 2.0 adds Pluto (just because), Earth’s Moon and Jupiter’s Moon Io to the planet list, more planetary data, higher quality animations, and fixes a few bugs. The Earth can be shown in Night mode, and the image is one made of a mosaic of satellite images of actual city lights of the Earth at night. Simply press Command + D to toggle between day and night. Also, the missing “L” in “Planets” has been found. It was under the couch.
