Orbit: Explore the Cosmos

Real NASA Data, Live Sky Map

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Explore the solar system in 3D, track real NASA missions live, build your own gravity simulation, and find real stars and planets in the sky above you — right now. Orbit is a solar system explorer built on real NASA data, not just illustrations. EXPLORE Rotate detailed 3D globes of every planet, listen to real recorded sounds from NASA missions, and browse real photos pulled live from NASA's own archive. See today's Astronomy Picture of the Day and the latest real photos from the Mars rovers. GO DEEPER Browse black holes, galaxies, exoplanets, and nebulae — plus a live feed of NASA's most recent Hubble and Webb telescope images, real current space weather, and the latest from NASA's Artemis Moon missions. FIND WHAT'S REALLY ABOVE YOU Point your phone at the sky and Sky Map shows you real stars, planets, and constellations, calculated live from your actual location and the current time — not a static illustration. BUILD YOUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM Drop in planets and stars, and watch real gravitational physics take over. Smash two suns together and watch a black hole form. PLAY Test what you've learned with a Solar System Quiz, dodge asteroids, and pilot a rocket toward space. Orbit's free tier includes full access to the Explore tab and Mars rover photos. Orbit Premium ($4.99/month) unlocks Deep Space, the Solar System Builder, and all games. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
