Planet Pluto 3D Screensaver
By Astro Gemini Software
Far far away, at the very edge of the Solar System lies Pluto, the ninth planet from the Sun. It is not only much smaller and less massive than every other planet, it is also smaller and less massive than seven moons of other planets. It has a highly eccentric orbit which takes it inside the orbit of Neptune. This caused some debate regarding whether Pluto should even be classified as a planet! It has one natural satellite, Charon, which is half the size of Pluto. Because they are comparable in size, many consider them to be a double planet. Pluto''s atmosphere appears to extend out to include Charon, which suggests that they may share an atmosphere. There are many other interesting and controversial facts about this planet that you can learn if you download this screensaver.

Saturn is a large gas planet with an atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium. It has the lowest density of any planet in our solar system. In fact its density is so low that it would float if it was placed in water! Visually, Saturn is flattened at the poles, due to the quick rotation on its axis. The winds in its atmosphere reach speeds up to 1700 kilometers per hour! Saturn is known for its extensive ring system which is formed by a thousand individual rings. They are mainly composed of water ice and dust. Planet Saturn 3D Screensaver is an extraordinary 3D representation of this fascinating ringed planet.
Planet Uranus 3D Screensaver
By Astro Gemini Software
Uranus is unique in our solar system because it is tilted 98 degrees. When viewed from Earth, it appears to rotate on its side! At different times throughout its orbit, we can actually view one of the planet''s poles head-on. The atmosphere is composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The temperature in the upper atmosphere is so cold that the methane condenses and forms a thin cloud layer which gives the planet its blue-green appearance. Uranus is the farthest planet from Earth that can be seen with the unaided eye but of course this can only happen on a clear, dark night. How about having the opportunity to watch this unique planet any time you like? All you need is this terrific Planet Uranus 3D Screensaver on your desktop!
