Simulations: Earth and space
See the sky from outside: the planets on their real orbits, day and night, the seasons and the phases of the Moon. Each model runs on a projector or a touch screen, so the whole class watches the same thing while you ask what will happen next.
Day, night and seasonsA free 3D simulation for class: see why we have day and night and why seasons come from the Earth's tilt, not its distance from the Sun. Real dates and cities.
Moon phases and eclipsesA free 3D model of Moon phases and solar and lunar eclipses for class: the real Moon on any date, its 5.1° tilt, the shadows, and real eclipses to jump to.
Solar systemA free 3D solar system simulation for class: the planets where they really are today, time controls, true scale, the Moon's real phase and Saturn's rings.Coming next
