Other Planets
Visualizations of other planets using Google Earth. Note: these work in Earth not Sky mode. For Google Sky plugins see my GSky page.
Google [Earth] Moons
Size comparison between Earth and every moon in the Solar System larger than 100km diameter
Microwave Sky
KML file displaying Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, projected either on, or around Google Earth.
Full-Sky Temperature Maps
Collection of cosmic temperature maps, covering five frequency bands. As with the Cosmic Microwave Background Map these can be displayed from the outside (of the Universe) looking in, or inside looking out.
Sun vs Solar System, Size Comparison
Using a cominbation of overlays and 3D models with photo textures, this file creates an interactive size comparison chart between the Sun and the 46 largest Solar System bodies - Planets and all major satellites.
Google Saturn ?
Converts Google Earth into Saturn. Uses a model mesh to approximate Saturn’s oblate shape, and a textured model with transparency to simulate the ring system.
Jupiter Time Lapse
series of near-global images of Jupiter taken by the Cassini probe, over a one week period in 2000. Overlayed onto Google Earth and playable as a short movie.
Mars’ Moons, Phobos and Deimos
3d model overlays of Phobos and Deimos, plus various scaled versions of the Martian system. Based on shape files produced by Philip J. Stooke.
