Release 3.1 — A bigger Solar System! • Quaoar joins as the second ringed dwarf planet, alongside Haumea • Three new moons: Mimas, Iapetus, and Miranda • Real NASA surface textures for Ceres, Vesta, Eros, Ida, Mimas & more • Vesta and Pallas now show their true irregular shapes • Fixed real-orbits mode — planets at their actual positions in space • Faster, more visible orbital motion for outer dwarfs • Tighter camera framing for asteroids and dwarf planets Thanks for exploring with us!

This update opens up a much bigger solar system. Explore beyond the main planets with dwarf planets like Ceres, Haumea, Eris and Sedna, plus named asteroids to visit up close. New Slingshot Tour and Astronomer Tour modes join the original journey, giving you more cinematic ways to fly through space. The new navigator also makes it easier to jump straight to the Sun, planets, moons and smaller worlds. You'll also notice richer atmosphere effects, improved ring visuals, smoother onboarding, and built-in screenshot sharing so you can save and share your favorite views.

Eight years is a long time in space. This update is a complete rebuild. Nothing from the previous version survives except the idea. Fly there. Tap any planet and the camera launches across the solar system to meet it. No menus. No lists. Just go. The Grand Tour. One button sends you on a cinematic journey from Neptune inward to the Sun — three different flight styles, randomised every time. Orbital sweeps. Polar dives. Close passes beside Saturn's rings. Flyby cards with real facts at every planet. Moons. Twenty of them, each with real NASA data. Tap Europa's icy shell. Read about Titan's methane lakes. Watch Triton orbit backwards toward its eventual destruction. It looks different too. Atmosphere bloom on Earth, Venus, Mars and Titan. Volumetric sun shader. Particle star field. Cinematic FOV shifts during flight. Rings on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. 11 languages. English, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, Hindi. If you loved the original, thank you for waiting. This is what it always should have been.
