	The Red Planet Screensaver  License: Freeware
	The free screensaver, The Red Planet, was created by RateMyScreensaver.com and contains 23 high resolution images of planet Mars. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is known as the Red Planet due to its reddish appearance as seen from Earth. Of all the planets, Mars's seasons are the most Earth-like, due to the similar tilts of the two planets' rotational axes. However, the lengths of the Martian seasons are about twice those of Earth's, as Mars's greater distance from the sun leads to the Martian year being approximately two Earth years in length. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. A terrestrial planet, Mars has a thin atmosphere and surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. It has the highest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons, and the largest canyon, Valles Marineris. Mars' rotational period and seasonal cycles are also similar to those of the Earth. - wiki Screensaver Picture Count: 23 Screensaver Type: Slideshow Credit: All images in this screensaver provided by NASA and the ESA Author: RateMyScreensaver| Date: 15-01-2008 | Size: 5049 KB

	Pluto the Dead Planet Screensaver  License: Freeware
	The free screensaver, Pluto the Dead Planet, was created by RateMyScreensaver and contains 15 high resolution images of the dwarf planet Pluto. It's official: Pluto is no longer a planet. It is now only a dwarf planet, one of three in the solar system. The fate of Pluto was determined on Thursday August 24th, 2006 by a vote among members of the International Astronomical Union in Prague. Pluto is the second-largest known dwarf planet in the solar system and the tenth largest observed body directly orbiting the Sun. It orbits between 29 and 49 AU from the Sun, and was the first Kuiper Belt object to be discovered. Approximately one-fifth the mass of the Earth's Moon, Pluto is primarily composed of rock and ice. It has an eccentric orbit that is highly inclined with respect to the planets and takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune during a portion of its orbit. - wiki Screensaver Picture Count: 15 Screensaver Type: Slideshow Credit: All images in this screensaver provided by NASA and the ESA Author: RateMyScreensaver| Date: 15-01-2008 | Size: 1896 KB

	Dark Solar System  License: Freeware
	In cosmology, dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy which permeates all of space and has strong negative pressure. According to the theory of relativity, the effect of such a negative pressure is qualitatively similar to a force acting in opposition to gravity at large scales. Invoking such an effect is currently the most popular method for explaining recent observations that the universe appears to be expanding at an accelerating rate, as well as accounting for a significant portion of the missing mass in the universe. Two proposed forms for dark energy are the cosmological constant, a constant energy density filling space homogeneously, and quintessence, a dynamic field whose energy density can vary in time and space. Distinguishing between the alternatives requires high-precision measurements of the expansion of the universe to understand how the speed of the expansion changes over time. The rate of expansion is parameterized by the cosmological equation of state. Measuring the equation of state of dark energy is one of the biggest efforts in observational cosmology today. Adding a cosmological constant to the standard theory of cosmology (i.e. the FLRW metric) has led to a model for cosmology known as the Lambda-CDM model. This model agrees closely with established cosmological observations. As NASA reports indicate, 70 percent or more of the universe consists of dark energy, about which we know next to nothing. At the beginning of March, 2006 the satellite of China National Space Administration, DARKSTAR started operations, observing in neutrino the solar corona. It results a sensational information that our system also contains dark energy. This substance is located within the solar surface. We have placed above cosmological information into our screensaver and you can view allocation of dark matter in our Solar system! Author: Icon Empire| Date: 31-03-2006 | Size: 539 KB
