You can discover the wonders of our solar system in a spectacular 3-D environment on this site. You can move close to the sun and see each planet in its orbit, observe planets and extraterrestrial weather patterns up close, and more on this site. There is a non-3D version, as well. Please be aware that there are small text ads that appear at the top of the pages. Since the ads are text banners and the site is so rich with color and dimension, the ads are pretty unobtrusive.
