Earth rotates in a madly speed. Moon is so close to Earth that it touches the oceans. Inner planets are ovale - looking like eggs. Saturn moons are huge and not proportional vs Saturn.

Planets and moons are not to scale, and the moons are far too close to the planets - sometimes even touching them! (EDIT: this can be fixed by turning on "Realistic sizes" in the settings) Also, some of the "facts" need to be corrected - for example, Jupiter is apparently "the brightest star in the sky", but if you click on the title, it expands to correctly state that it is second brightest to Venus. When this app is updated and corrected it will have the potential to amazing!
