We’re thrilled to announce the latest update to SKYORB ∞, bringing back some much-requested features. Exoplanets are making a triumphant return, and the star map gets a stylistic makeover, offering a closer and more engaging experience reminiscent of SkyORB 2021.
Edit 07 Feb 2024: The exo planets orbits around the star will be planned in the 1.3 version, after the re-introduction of the ‘Cosmos’ explorer with the milky way which is being redone with the new engine.
Why Consider Upgrading to SKYORB ∞?
While both SkyORB 2021 and SKYORB ∞ coexist, the latter introduces a range of enhancements. It’s a step forward, maintaining the comfort of the familiar 2021 interface. Though some features are in the pipeline, like the enchanting ‘zoom from sun to galaxy,’ the current improvements promise to elevate your stargazing adventures.
Upgrade to SKYORB ∞ now for a refined cosmic journey, blending familiarity with newfound wonders.
