Wolfram Planets Reference App 1.3.1

The Wolfram Planets Reference App offers comprehensive access to real-time data on the eight primary planets of our solar system, along with dwarf and minor planets. It provides tools for computing each planet's current position in the sky, predicting the next rising time, and executing advanced astronomical calculations.

• Calculate planetary orbital characteristics, such as orbital period and distances from Earth and the Sun.
• Access detailed physical parameters including radius, mass, rotation period, and number of moons.
• Obtain atmospheric information, including atmospheric pressure, mean temperature, and composition.
• View a diagram of the current solar system configuration coupled with images of individual planets.
• Identify celestial objects in your vicinity, compute their current positions based on your location, and determine upcoming rise and set times.
• Assess planetary visibility from any specified location worldwide.
• Perform sophisticated computations related to physical astronomy, including stationary orbits, escape velocity calculations, and application of Kepler's third law.

The app is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and developed by Wolfram Research, renowned for creating Mathematica—the leading software system for mathematics research and education. It leverages Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputing capabilities over a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection to deliver accurate and timely astronomical insights.
