SunAeon – a solar system simulator for your IWB

SunAeon – a solar system simulator for your IWB:
SunAeon is a new solar system simulator from the makers of Solar System Scope and Sun Moon Scope.
It allows you to explore the solar system, look at each of the planets up close and see how they move relative to each other. The planets are rendered beautifully although there are no moons (even our moon). I hope these will be added later. There’s also no additional information about any of the planets.
You can switch between seeing it as a model with large planets that are easy to see, or as a “real” representation with planets correctly sized relative to each other.
It would be good to have a full-screen mode to remove the adverts, like you can in Solar System Scope.

This would be great to use in any lesson about the Solar System from KS2 up. Take a look now at http://www.sunaeon.com/, and if you like that, also take a look at Solar System Scope and Sun Moon Scope.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
