This highly realistic screensaver takes you on a voyage through space, beginning in Earth's orbit and ending in the company of Saturn's rings.

With a viewpoint that gives the impression of watching the solar system whiz by from the comfort of a spacecraft, it almost takes you there.

Along the way you'll pass such sights as the Moon, the behemoth that is Jupiter and a variety of other space phenomena.

All the images used in the screensaver are courtesy of NASA/NSSDC, so the result is impressive. It also includes sound samples of astronauts communicating with base camp.

This screensaver was designed using GlobFX Composer, a great tool for creating slide shows, screensavers and movies.
