This program is a model of our solar system. Primarily an educational tool, it is also fun to use. It has low vision graphics, music, and audio output, including an audio description of the working model. The program has screen reader support, with auto detection of an active screen reader. The model is scientifically accurate, in that the sizes of planets, speeds of planets, and distance of orbits are all accurately scaled relative to Earth. As the 4 outer gas planets are much more distant and go slower than the 4 inner rocky planets, there is a zoom out and speed up feature. There is also an orbit tracer to track the motion of each planet. The program comes with much information about geology, atmosphere, temperatures, moons and myths and legends for each planet. The music is the planet suite by Holst. I am hoping you find this program both interesting and informative.
