Watch winds push gases across planetary atmospheres, see object shapes accurately outlined, and adjust what objects are made of by percentage. We’ve also focused on eliminating issues with over 50 fixes and improvements.

Atmospheric Winds

Gases now sweep across planetary atmospheres via the geostrophic wind. Check it out and customize the wind speed under Surface > Atmosphere > Geostrophic Wind Speed

More Highlights

Adjust object material compositions based on percentage. Quickly recreate Earth, Titan’s atmosphere, or fine-tune your custom creations.

Explore a new way to see object motion with the new Rotating Camera view. Click Rotating Camera when two objects are selected to freeze their relative motion and reveal difficult-to-see orbital motions and patterns. Try selecting Jupiter and the Sun in the Solar System to see how the trojan asteroids move relative to Jupiter.

Stellar prominences now look more realistic, with colors based on the star’s surface temperature and thinner, more looping visuals.
