Solar Walk
Solar Walk is an interactive planetarium and space exploration app for macOS that lets users visualize the solar system, planets, moons, asteroids and spacecraft in 3D. The app provides detailed information about celestial objects, their orbits and physical characteristics, allowing users to navigate through space at different time scales and view the positions and movements of planets and other bodies from various perspectives. It is used by students, educators, astronomy enthusiasts and casual learners exploring space science.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find public information confirming whether Solar Walk has a native Apple Silicon build. The app is not widely documented in recent tech publications or on major macOS software sites, making it difficult to determine the developer's current support status. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), contact the developer (Vito Technology) directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned or already available. If no native build is forthcoming and you rely on Solar Walk, begin researching alternatives now — free options like Celestia (which has native Apple Silicon support) or Stellarium offer similar planetarium functionality, though neither is a perfect replacement. Check the developer's website or support channels for the most current information on Apple Silicon compatibility.
