Take a quiet flight across the solar system. Explore real planetary imagery, named landmarks, and changing skies from your Apple TV.
Take a seat and travel through the solar system. Low Orbit flies itself across 27 planets, moons, and small worlds, from Mercury and the Moon to Saturn's rings and the distant terrain of Pluto.
The views are rendered live on your Apple TV using orbital images, elevation maps, and other published planetary data. Follow a route through Mars's canyons, visit Apollo landing sites on the Moon, pass over Venus and Mercury, circle Jupiter and Saturn, and continue outward to Uranus, Neptune, and their moons.
Choose a world or let the full tour run. Labels and short descriptions identify places along the way. You can switch between views grounded in the published data and enhanced scenes that add visual details such as haze and plumes. An optional ambient soundtrack accompanies the flight.
Use the Siri Remote to pause, move between sites, and open Settings. The tour runs offline after installation, with no account, ads, or in-app purchases.
Low Orbit does not collect data. Imagery and other source credits are available in Settings. This is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by NASA, ESA, JAXA, USGS, or any other space agency.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• A truer night sky: stars appear as your own eyes would see them. Your view adjusts as you fly from bright daylit ground into darkness, so faint stars fade in over dark landscapes and wash out near the Sun or bright terrain.
• Smoother flights over hazy worlds: faster approaches to Titan and Pluto, with planets seen through Titan's haze dimmed and reddened by it.
• Steadier performance during long viewing sessions.
• Smooth flights on Apple TV HD (4th generation), with detail and resolution that adapt to your Apple TV.
