How to Look Around
To move the camera, click and drag. You can zoom in and out by scrolling. The entire system is rendered at real scale, so to see planetary surfaces you have to scroll in a fair bit. The coloured transparent spheres are just markers telling you where the planets are so you can actually see them along with their orbit.
Onscreen Controls
