    You can explore all the planets you want and the concept is very similar to Space Engine, albeit unrealistic (no gas giants, no tidally locked planets etc. it's more "fantasy" than Space Engine).

    In this app you can explore almost any moon or planet of our solar system and visit remarkable nearby stars and see their location in the Milky Way. But you can also change existing bodies or add new ones and make a solar system of your own.
