In addition to its stunning visuals, Distant Suns offers a wealth of information, including the stories behind each constellation, viewpoint lock to keep any object centered, real-time weather patterns on Earth, and the ability to customize the appearance of stars. The app also provides access to a myriad of astronomical wonders, such as galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and images from the Hubble Space Telescope. And for those who are keen on planetary exploration, Distant Suns features all eight (or nine) planets and incorporates GPS capabilities.
Distant Suns even offers a special color mode that preserves your night vision and allows you to touch the sky to reveal hidden data for each object. With its comprehensive collection of planetary data and information, this app is a must-have for anyone interested in exploring and understanding our universe.
