Midnight Planets lets you explore Mars as seen by the Mars Rovers Curiosity, Spirit and Opportunity. It lets you view almost every image returned by the rovers in panoramic context, and provides a number of options for viewing in 3D. The app is an ongoing project in visualizing other worlds, using image data from spacecraft exploring our solar system.
Where has the developer gone?
This is, er, was, the COOLEST app for viewing mars curiosity rover pictures! But it stopped updating about 1000 sols ago. PLEASE restore this to show the latest curiosity images! And add perseverance to it!
Midnight planets beauty
Midnight planets is extremely beautiful and informative. Can do some close up visual geological surveys of the loads of hi-res images stitched together mosaic style from location to location.
Very cool.
How more cool could it be than to view another planet close up?
Killer app
If you have a curiosity about Mars, this is the app. With a little practice, very easy to navigate.
Wonderful app
The panoramic view of mars and stitching of images is amazing! You get a beautiful immersive view of Mars. Navigating through the path is so cool it's just like Google Maps! Love it.
End of the line
As of October 2019, this App is no longer adding new Curiosity images. This was my go-to Mars App for more than a decade. It will be sorely missed. You had a great run. Thanks!
