What is Xplanet FOR LINUX?

Xplanet

Xplanet is a cool open-source software that lets you dive into a solar system simulation game. It's written in C++ and takes some inspiration from the Xearth game made for Windows. Pretty neat, right?

Stunning Visuals of Our Planet

This software really shines when it comes to visuals! Xplanet renders an image of Earth straight into the X11 root window on your Linux system. But wait, there's more—it can also draw all the major planets and their satellites.

Fun Features You'll Love

What makes it even better? Xplanet includes eclipse shadows, so you can see how they look from space. Plus, it supports multiple bodies and lets you customize markers and labels to make things more personal.

How It Compares to NASA's Simulator

The gameplay is similar to NASA's Solar System Simulator application. So, if you're a fan of space exploration, you'll definitely feel right at home!

Diverse Map Projections

Xplanet supports various map projections like azimuthal, Lambert, Mercator, orthographic, Mollweide, and rectangular. This means you can view our world in different ways depending on what suits your fancy!
