Description
Idle Space! It's idling, but in space! Everything but the music in this game was created by me, including the programming!
The time it takes for a planet to rotate is TO SCALE, very accurately. 1 year in real life is equal to one minute in the game, so Earth will take exactly one minute to rotate around the Sun. The sizes of the planets are not to scale - otherwise the Sun would take up most of the screen, Jupiter a few pixels and Earth would be invisible. However, they are to-scale in the sense that Jupiter IS bigger than Earth, and Earth IS bigger than Mercury, and so on.
The time the planets take to rotate on their own axis is not to scale either.

How to Play
UP/DOWN ARROWS - Show/hide extra buttons
CLICK ON A PLANET - View information
CLICK ON A PLANET IN THE INFO BOX - View large-scale image
CLICK LARGE SCALE IMAGE - Close image
MUSIC - Turn on/off in the music menu, make sure you STOP one track before PLAYING another.. It's an added feature to play them over the top of eachother, but it really doesn't sound nice.

Yet another brilliant Idle from Sten. Love the choice of music. The counter for all the planets is a great idea. Clicking on a planet to enlarge it and find out some information about it is excellent. Have actually learned something from the information on each planet. I like the way you have created each planet yourself. A lot work has gone into this. The best so far. Keep it up and look forward to the next one. 5*

This is not a game, a game you actually do something... even "idle" games you have to do something

Is there actually a game to this, or is it simply staring at a top down view of the solar system until you get bored? If there is a point to this, I'd really like to know what it is.

Since you're idling on this game,for people who does not know learns some information about those planets,and they learn how many time they stayed for each planet.Also,the musics are great too.
