Two speeds

You can fly up to 20c between planets. The moment you enter a planet's system, the ship throttles way down so you don't blast straight through it. Want to stay fast? Flip Slower near planets off in the menu.

Go anywhere (🚀 Travel)

The 🚀 button up top lists every planet and moon. Pick one, then:

• Autopilot — flies you there. Grab the controls and it lets go.
• Land & Orbit — drops you into a camera orbit of the body.
• Jump Nearby — skips the travel when you don't feel like flying it.

Landing

Get close to a body and a Land on… button appears on its own. Drag to look around. Leave (or Esc) puts you back in the ship.

Stand on a world (🔭 Observatory)

Tap 🔭 and pick any planet or moon. You'll land there with its sky open: the current phase, distances, and the next eclipses and shadow crossings, all worked out from the orbits. Tap an event to jump to it, then Surface view to watch from the ground.

Watch the orbits run

Click the date on the bottom bar. Speed time up and you can actually watch planets trace their orbits and moons circle their hosts. Pause, reverse, or jump to any UTC moment.
