Experiment with the planets and objects in space, move the planets and see how this affects their orbit and put other objects in their paths such as asteroids and comets. Use your mouse to move around the universe and use all kinds of options to to see what happens enjoying the breathtaking sight. Have fun in Planetarium 2! is an estimate, the actual number an observer could see depends on the actual intensity of the shower (which can be highly variable)Planetarium 2 is a great solar system simulation in which you can watch our galaxy in action and see how the different planets and stars interact with each other. Observe how the planets travel their orbits around the sun, including the Earth, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Jupiter. Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be an astronaut and see our planet from a different perspective? This is the perfect game to forget about real life for a bit and just get amazed by the wonders of our universe. Read more ..

List of Bright Comets. This is a list of the bright comets that are currently visible, or that will likely become bright and visible in the future. Both apps show a solar system map - a "plan view" of the planets laid out in the plane of the ecliptic (the flat plane in which all the main planets move about the Sun). List of Bright Asteroids. This list is similar to the list above, and provides constantly updated information about the brightest asteroids and dwarf planets visible in the sky. In this game, you can navigate through space and visit different celestial bodies within the solar system. You can observe their orbits, study their physical features, and even witness astronomical events such as eclipses and planetary alignments. The simulator provides accurate representations of the sizes, distances, and orbital mechanics of the various objects, allowing you to experience the scale and majesty of our cosmic environment.The Leonids (generated by comet Tempel-Tuttle) can be quite a prolific shower with between 15 and hundreds of meteors per hour - but averaging around 40. The activity peaks every 33 years with the last peak in 2001. It is usually most active on November 17 and 18. Look for the shower radiating from the constellation Leo after midnight. Visible in northern and southern hemispheres. Link
