Space ModeIn this space mode, you can see various structures in the Universe ranging from the topography of the Earth to the large scale structure of the Universe. Mitaka uses various observational data and theoretical models from modern astronomy. Planets and SatellitesAll the planets and major satellites in the solar system can be seen.
*) Textures for Pluto, Charon and Sedna are fictional images. Topography of Planets
For Earth and Mars,
you can see some place names or their topography, if topographical data are installed.
Nearby StarsNearby stars (within 3000 l.y.) observed by the Hipparcos satellite can be seen.
Our Galaxy and Globular ClustersOur galaxy and globular clusters, in which we cannot determine all the positions of stars by observation, are displayed using theoretical models.
Distribution of Galaxies and Large Scale Structure of the UniverseMitaka uses Tully's Nearby Galaxies Catalogue for nearby galaxies (within 100 million l.y.) and data from Sloan Digital Sky Survey for distant galaxies.
