Report an issueExoplanets are planets orbiting stars beyond our own solar system. This app allows you to explore all discovered exoplanets, their measured physical properties, their location in the night sky, and their host stars. An interactive model shows you the entire observable universe, all the way from the surface of the Earth to the cosmic microwave background. This app has been developed by a professional astronomer.
Main features:
* Interactive visualizations and animations. * Physical properties of all detected exoplanets and their host stars, updated on a daily basis. * Stunning 3D model of our Milky Way showing the location of all known exoplanets. You can zoom into any planetary system, explore how the night sky and the constellations look from the surface of other planets, or zoom out and see other local galaxies and galaxy clusters as well as the cosmic microwave background. * Visualizations of exoplanet orbits and the habitable zone. * Choose between the Open Exoplanet Catalogue, the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and the Extrasolar Planet Encyclopedia (exoplanet.eu). * Push notifications are sent out whenever a new planet is discovered. * Augmented reality sky map: point the phone towards the sky to find an exoplanet! * Interactive multi-touch correlation plots. * Solar System planets, major moons, and asteroids are included. * Explore S-Stars orbiting the black hole at the Galactic Center of our Milky Way * Background information about exoplanets and detection methods. * Full support of planets in binary, triple, quadruple systems and orphan planets. * Real-time ray tracing on the GPU.

8 of 26it wants 1 dollar if you want to explore more you can only explore like 25 or 50 planet in milky galaxy and it has bad graphics but you can learn a lot from it
This app is absolutely wonderful! I really enjoy the interactiveness of the app! But, I feel like the amount of updates to the app is lacking. The last exoplanet for me that was updated in 2023. So, with that being said, please update this app more!! It has lots of potential and I really enjoy it! Sincerely, Ian Crisp
This is an amazing app, it compiles many databases and resources together, which makes researching easier and better. I have purchased every add-on, and it's perfect. I do have a suggestion that you could be able to view multiple databases at the same time, as it would save more time researching. ( oh also, whenever I switch back from another database to the open exoplanet catalogue, all the Kepler objects of interest disappear, and to access them again, I have to reinstall the app)
Love this.
I was looking for great space games, then I found this app, it seemed like it was fun, so I downloaded it! Then I played the game, And it was very, very cool. Amazing app you got there! Also, updates make the game better, and also that is why I gave this app 5 stars. And also, here’s a suggestion: Make it so you can search galaxies and stars.
I look at hd-2-B and it’s giving me a review
I can’t remember exactly how long I’ve had this app. I’m amazed at the dedication to keeping this app updated, unlike so many in this app genre. Thank you and keep,up,the great work! It’s wonderful to have this at my fingertips!
