New in version 1.2.2

• About screen with version, license and artwork credits

A live wallpaper featuring Mars, Earth and the Moon in HD, slowly turning in front of our own Milky Way galaxy. It is designed to look excellent yet truthful: the planets are real NASA-based surface maps, lit and rendered as true spheres.

No special permissions are required. No ads, no tracking, no network access.

Features

  • Five worlds: Mars, Earth, Earth at night (city lights), the Moon and Pluto

  • High-resolution textures mapped onto a sphere with limb darkening, axial tilt and lighting

  • Per-planet atmosphere glow with adjustable density

  • Adjustable rotation speed (or stop it entirely) and planet size

  • Optional parallax: the planet reacts when you swipe between homescreens

  • Live preview in the settings; drag sideways to spin the planet by hand

  • Native OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer



Setting the wallpaper
Open the app and tap Set Wallpaper, then Set wallpaper in the system preview and choose home screen, lock screen or both. You can also long-press an empty spot on the homescreen and choose Wallpapers → Live wallpapers; some devices do this through the Android Settings app instead.

Textures: NASA (public domain) and Solar System Scope (CC BY 4.0). See CREDITS.md in the source repository.
