This poster provides some images and basic facts about our Solar System. Feel free to download a copy of it:
SpaceEngine
We use SpaceEngine to help us explore the known universe. The software cleverly predicts how our universe may look even when we don’t have direct observations.
The software is available on Steam, but older versions are available directly on their website, which is good to try out if you want to explore getting the current version.
Universe Sandbox
Universe Sandbox is a tool to help us understand how planets and stars can interact. It can recreate realistic star systems, as well as theoretical ones.
You can find links to purchase from their website.
