The graphics are generally praised for their quality and ability to create a visually appealing experience, enhancing the educational content of the program.

“Fantastic learning tool, nice graphics. I can imagine what the real things look like that I have seen in this program; it is marvelous in my eyesight.”
“Good performance, good voice overs, great explanations, nice graphics.”
“I enjoyed the visuals that it presented me, found the information informative, and in general had a good time taking it all in.”
“Aside from that, the interface is quite clunky, and while the visuals look nice, you cannot get close enough to any of the celestial bodies to get a sense of really being there. The objects fade out at a very high altitude, rather than allowing you to approach and create a visual horizon as you move in.”
“The graphics are underwhelming, with textures that feel outdated and lack detail. It detracts from the overall immersion of the game.”
“While the art style has potential, the execution falls flat. The environments feel empty and lack the depth needed to make them engaging.”
