Visualize the planets of our solar system

[](https://github.com/hiltontj/solars/releases)

Overview

solars is a learning tool for exploring our solar system. Originally developed as a quick way to visualize planetary alignment on a given date, solars is also a foray into application design and the world of application development using Tauri.

Preview

Enter a year, month, and day to see the relative alignment of the planets, or select one of the inputs and scroll up or down to fast-forward or rewind, respectively. Click Today to jump to today's date:

Some basic options allow you to customize the view:

Build & Development

Clone this repository to your local machine. Since solars is a Tauri app, you may read the guides for Developing Tauri apps and for Building Tauri apps on the official website.

You will need one of Tauri's CLI utilities installed, e.g., tauri-cli:

cargo install tauri-cli

You can then build the application bundle for your local operating system:

cargo tauri build

Or, launch the development server:

cargo tauri dev
