Twinkleton
Explore the solar system in 3D
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fly through a hand-built 3D solar system, watch a cinematic tour of every planet, and learn how the universe works — great for curious explorers ages 5–10.
Twinkleton is a gentle, beautiful astronomy playground for curious explorers (ages 5–10). Spin a real 3D solar system in your hands, sit back for a movie-like flight past every planet, and discover how space works through playful, hands-on lessons — all guided by Luma, a friendly little astronaut.
EXPLORE IN 3D
• A real-texture Sun, eight planets, Pluto, the Moon, Saturn's rings and the Milky Way
• Drag to orbit, pinch to zoom — like holding the solar system in your hands
• Tap any planet to fly to it and open a friendly fact card
• Slow it down, speed it up, or rewind time to watch the planets dance
A MOVIE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
• Immersive mode plays a calm, cinematic fly-through — drifting in from far away, then visiting each planet up close with gentle music
LEARN BY DOING
Ten interactive lessons turn big ideas into simple play:
• Why we always see the same face of the Moon
• Why you float with a tiny jump on the Moon (1/6 gravity)
• How far the Sun is — light takes 8 minutes to reach us
• How many Moons fit inside the Earth
• Which planet is hottest (surprise — it's not the closest one!)
• How much you'd weigh on every planet
• What a satellite is — natural vs. man-made
• How long a day lasts on other worlds
• Solar and lunar eclipses, seen from space AND from Earth
• A deck of cosmic fun-facts
SAFE, GENTLE & AD-FREE
• Fully bilingual — English and 繁體中文, switch anytime
• Friendly voice narration reads every fact aloud
• No ads, no links out, and no sign-up — privacy-first, anonymous analytics only
• Works on iPhone and iPad
Distances and sizes are scaled down so everything stays fun and visible — a toy model of the real thing, built to spark wonder.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update makes exploring smoother and more complete:
• Guided tour: each planet now moves on to the next by itself once its narration finishes — no tapping needed. The manual back/next buttons still work anytime.
• Immersive movie: a planet's name now appears as the camera arrives and hides again afterward, and the Sun is named too.
• "How many Moons fit inside Earth" lesson: 50 Moons now fill the Earth beautifully.
• Fixed a rare hiccup where the voice narration could stall.
Thanks for exploring the universe with Luma!
