(Warning: The images to the left are not from NASA spacecraft. The were rendered in real time by this software. Prepare for amazement).


Ever wanted to soar over Saturn’s rings**** or wheel around through the moons of Jupiter?

In the 60s NASA developed an ambitious plan to explore the outer planets**** and called it The Grand Tour. Later known as the Voyager missions**** they would turn into some of the most successful missions in NASA’s history. Those journeys turned tiny flickering points in the sky**** to places; real places that we had just visited. And now you can visit those same places**** whenever you like.

*******ting the solar-system**** and its major moons in stunning detail**** Grand Tour will let you zip about the solar-system at will and see the sights as they would look like at this very moment.

• View the planets and their moons from any angle with a simple flick of your finger.
• Planetary positions calculated and updated continuously
• Real-time cloud images for the earth**** updated every 3 hours.
• Constellation names and outlines
• Animate the motions of other worlds forward or backwards.
• Detailed descriptions of each world.

• List of experiments.
• Solid tech support via AIM: Lazyastronomer**** Twitter: distantsuns and blog**** distantsuns.wordpress.com
• Grand tour is perfect for us lazy astronomers who want to skim across the surface of the moon without leaving the jacuzzi.

So next time work gets boring**** take a quick trip to Mars and see what Phobos is up to.
