8Planets 1.1.5 for Mac
Mac Utilities8Planets 1.1.5 for Mac, from Blue Comet Labs, is a small, elegant viewer for our Solar System. Rather than showing a static diagram, it simulates the planets in motion, so you can watch Mercury race around the Sun while the outer planets barely seem to move — a clear way to feel the true scale of distances and orbital periods.
It is built for curiosity as much as for study. Students, teachers and space enthusiasts can jump to a birthday, a historic launch date, or a future alignment and see exactly where each planet sat on that day. The same app also runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, with widgets that keep the live Solar System on your screen.
Key Features
- Live simulation of planetary motion at true relative scale
- Time controls to speed up, slow down or travel to any date
- Widgets showing the real-time Solar System position

- Apple Watch support with complications and Digital Crown time travel

Is 8Planets free?
No. It is a paid app on the App Store, listed at $2.99 with optional in-app tip purchases. There is no free full version, so the App Store price and any trial details shown there are the ones that apply.
Is it safe to get 8Planets from a DMG site?
No. Unofficial DMG sites are not the developer's distribution channel and can bundle altered files. The Mac App Store listing from Blue Comet Labs is the official, safe way to install it.
