The Planets 2.0 is utilities software developed by John Schilling.
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.
    This utilities software is freeware, which means you can download and use The Planets 2.0 absolutely free. There's no need to buy the product. The Planets 2.0 supports english interface languages and works with Mac OS X.
