The Planets is an application that puts 8 spinning planets of the Solar System on your desktop.

They can be run all at once, or one at a time.
Each planet also has a small information window giving a little story and data about itself.

What's New:
  • Version 2.0 adds Pluto (just because), Earth’s Moon and Jupiter’s Moon Io to the planet list, more planetary data, higher quality animations, and fixes a few bugs.
  • The Earth can be shown in Night mode, and the image is one made of a mosaic of satellite images of actual city lights of the Earth at night. Simply press Command + D to toggle between day and night.
  • Also, the missing “L” in “Planets” has been found. It was under the couch.

    Requirements:
  • PPC
  • QuickTime 3.0 or higher
  • 5 MB RAM.
