Pretty cool CloudZimmerman! Welcome to the forum!

If you don't know already, QB64 lets you make a graphics window as large as you want. I usually use 800 x 600. To use it, use this command:
SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800,600,32)

That makes a 32 bit screen on 800 x 600 pixels. The colors for 32 bit are enormous. For example you can do this for the LINE command:
LINE (50,50)-(200,200),_RGB32(255,0,0),BF
255 is the maximum amount of red you can use, it's RED, GREEN, BLUE. For complete white it's 255,255,255 and for complete black it's 0,0,0.
Anyway, you might know all this already so I'll end there. Happy programming!

Pretty, but scary.  May cause independent eye motion.

Why is one "planet" retrograde?  Is that a really big spaceship?
It works better if you plug it in.

Good job CloudZimmermann! Thanks especially for making this available in .exe, I think it's much more convenient that way.
If you want to make this with better graphics maybe give the NASA textures a try and use some _PUTIMAGE statements. https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/images
