It really only has info on our own planets to do comparative scaling of the newly discovered planets to our own.<br /><br />If you want to get an app that covers our own system, I recommend "Planet Facts" which is free and has basic planet info. If you want to hunt down the planets yourself with binoculars or a telescope, download the Stellarium application which will show you the position of the planets based on your location.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />PhilPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10701582923648225920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21427001.post-41557623015417570322011-08-04T13:40:57.678-05:002011-08-04T13:40:57.678-05:00Phil,

Fantastic.<br />However I am having trouble getting back to our own solar system. Is there a quick way to do this?<br />Nickskiingbeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265269426841193062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21427001.post-47762270185385710782010-12-10T13:46:46.077-06:002010-12-10T13:46:46.077-06:00Hi Johany, and thanks!
