Astro VR
Travel among the stars and planets In this VR only astronomy simulation. Within the solar system you can visit all the planets and moons as well as many asteroids, trans-Neptunian objects, and other small solar system bodies. Outside the solar system, go to thousands of stars and their exoplanets.
SIMULATION
All the solar system objects sizes and locations are based on accurate and up to date information. Where actual images are available you will see the correct texture or, if detailed information is available, a reasonable extrapolation is used. The orientation of the planets is correct relative to the solar system and the solar system itself is oriented correctly to the background stars.
Star color, brightness, size and position are taken directly from available data or are calculated. There are thousands of stars and hundreds of exoplanets to investigate. The habitability zone of each star is calculated and the exoplanets within it are textured appropriately. As you explore you will see an indication for stars that are known to have planets as well as planets that are within the habitability zone.
DATA
Every object is labeled with an option to turn off the text. In addition, detailed information on each object can be displayed. When available, we collect data on position and orbits, size, mass, temperature, magnitude, luminosity, inclination, and more. You can do side by side comparisons with the sun, Jupiter, Earth, and the moon.
Currently there are:
- 2248 Star Systems
- 2877 Individual Stars
- 8 Planets
- 197 Moons
- 75 Minor Planets
- 280 Exoplanets
- 5 Spacecraft
There will be more.
VR EXPERIENCE
You may freely move among all the stellar objects with only two controls. Left controller thumbpad/stick for movement, right to zoom. Separate scales for object size and distance allow you to see the entire solar system within arms length or you may zoom in to where size and distance scales are the same.
Currently:
Min Scale Distance: 1 meter = 2 light years.
Min Scale Object: 1 meter = 200 diameters Sol.
Max Scale (both): 1 meter = 10,000 km

Astro VR von Light-Year Simulatons ist eine Astronomieapp, die es uns ermöglicht 6096 Sternensysteme, 6720 einzelne Sterne, 16 Schwarze Löcher, 7 Neutronensterne, 8 Planeten, 222 Monde, 91 Zwergplaneten, 5404 Exoplaneten und ganze 9 Raumvehiekel etwas näher zu betrachten.
Die ganze Show lässt sich geführt in einer Tour durchleben. Das kann je nach Einstellungsparametern im Menü ganz schön lange dauern. Der Jupiter z.B. hat ganz schön viel Monde. Wem das aber zu lange dauert, kann sich auch individuell in unserem Universum umsehen.
Wir fliegen und beamen quer durch die Galaxis und werden am Zielort immer mit einer kleinen Texttafel mit kurzen Infos über das Ziel belohnt.
Die Steuerung ist nicht ganz einfach, wird aber in einem Tutorial erklärt und geht mit etwas Übung gut von der Hand. Wir können die einzelnen Objekte, die wir uns ansehen möchten, jeweils rein und rauszoomen.
Lediglich der Exitknopf lässt sich zu schnell versehentlich aktivieren und schwubs! ist man wieder auf der guten alten Erde. Eine Nachfrage, ob man wirklich raus möchte, wäre nett.
Das Programm lässt sich wohl auch in flat steuern, aber wenn man schon ein HMD hat, ist das eigentlich keine Option.
Die Grafik ist, soweit bekannt, realistisch, das betrifft aber vor allem nur unser Sonnensystem. Alle anderen Himmelskörper sind berechnete Darstellungen mit aktuellen Daten der einschlägigen Weltraumagenturen. Wir können die einzelnen Objekte rein und rauszoomen.
Die Musik ist okay, aber vor allem beim Start des Programms sehr LAUT! Also bitte die Lautstärke runterdrehen, wenn ihr das Programm ausprobieren wollt.
Astro VR ist eine sehr umfangreiche astronomische Tour durch unsere Galaxis. Die Informationen sind interessant, für Kenner und Entdecker.
👀Besser Astro VR als Astro TV🎊 All das auf meiner Kurator Seite.

Astro VR by Light-Year Simulatons is an astronomy app that allows us to take a closer look at 6096 star systems, 6720 individual stars, 16 black holes, 7 neutron stars, 8 planets, 222 moons, 91 dwarf planets, 5404 exoplanets and a whole 9 space vehicles.
The whole show can be experienced in a guided tour. Depending on the setting parameters in the menu, this can take quite a long time. Jupiter, for example, has quite a lot of moons. But if that takes too long, you can also look around our universe individually.
We fly and beam across the galaxy and are always rewarded at our destination with a small text panel with brief information about the destination.
The controls are not easy, but they are explained in a tutorial and are easy to master with a little practice. We can zoom in and out on the individual objects we want to see.
Only the exit button can be activated too quickly by mistake and then you're back on good old earth. It would be nice to be asked if you really want to exit.
The program can probably also be controlled in flat, but if you already have an HMD, this is not really an option.
As far as we know, the graphics are realistic, but this only applies to our solar system. All other celestial bodies are calculated representations with current data from the relevant space agencies. We can zoom in and out on the individual objects.
The music is okay, but very LOUD, especially at the start of the program! So please turn down the volume if you want to try out the program.
Astro VR is a very comprehensive astronomical tour through our galaxy. The information is interesting for connoisseurs and explorers.
👀Better Astro VR than Astro TV🎊 All this on my curator page.
