Moon and Planets from our solar system in the star map

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

We live in one of the most exciting times ever, with hundreds of exoplanets discovered. An extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is a planet outside our Solar System. Even planets very similar to our own Earth have been confirmed, raising questions about the existence of extraterrestrial life. Exoplanet Hunter provides a comprehensive and accurate overview of discovered exoplanets. The app fetches up-to-date data from a JSON API and displays clear, easy-to-read information pages for all known planets and their stars. The application also features a 3D simulation of each solar system, allowing users to explore and visualize the planets and their orbits in an interactive way. This version has been upgraded with Capacitor and React Fiber, improving performance, stability, and compatibility with modern devices. Data provided by PHL's Exoplanet Catalog of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory.
