The Solar System has done a lot of evolving since its initial form. Many moons have formed from circling discs of gas and dust around their parent planets, while other moons are believed to have formed independently and later been captured by their planets. Still others, as Earth's moon, may be the result of giant collisions. Collisions between bodies have occurred continually up to the present day and have been very important to the evolution of the Solar System.
The positions of the planets often shifted, and planets have switched places. This planetary migration now is believed to have been responsible for much of the Solar System's early evolution. The original placement of the planets is still unknown.
The final result of the migration has left us with eight planets. These eight, although very different in their own ways, can be separated into two groups, the inner and outer planets.
The inner planets are very small compared to the outer ones, Earth being the biggest with a diameter of 7,926 miles. Mercury is the smallest in the solar system with a diameter of 3,031 miles.
The outer planets, all made of gas are very large. Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system with a diameter of 88,846 miles, Neptune is the smallest of the outer planets with a diameter of 30,779 miles. Neptune being the smallest of the outer planets is still over 23,000 miles bigger in diameter than the largest of the inner planets Earth.The main reason for the major differences in size between the inner and outer planets is because the inner planets are very dense caused by the density of the elements that make them up. Because the inner planets are so densely packed together, they are small but they are solid making them much easier to study because they have an actual surface. Although all inner planets can be stood on, only Earth has a survivable atmosphere.
The atmospheres of the Outer Planets consist mostly of Hydrogen and Helium, with Methane also being present in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune. Other gases are present although in much smaller quantities. The outer planets do not have a solid surface, they are all made of gas, hence the nickname 'Gas Giants'.
The inner planets have a faster year just because they are closer to the sun making their lap shorter. Although a day on an inner planet is much slower then one on an outer ones. Uranus spins slowest, taking 17 hours and 14 minutes to spin on its axis. Jupiter takes only 9 hours and 55 minutes to spin on its axis. This rapid rotation causes Jupiter and Saturn to appear squashed, wider across the equator than from top to bottom.
The inner planets spin quite slowly compared to the outer ones. Earth spins the quickest, taking 23 hours and 56 minutes to spin on its axis. Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis, spinning in an opposite direction to the other planets.
As incredible as these planets are their future is completely dependant on our sun's future. In about 5 billion years the Sun will burn all of the hydrogen in its core. Once this happens, the core will shrink under its own gravity, until it becomes so dense that the helium atoms will begin to collide to form carbon and oxygen. These collisions produce much more energy than the hydrogen fusion that powers the Sun today.
The extra energy will cause big changes in the Sun. The core will become much hotter, causing the Sun to swell to over one hundred times its present size, swallowing up the planets Mercury and Venus. Even though the core will be hotter, the surface will be cooler than it is today, changing in color from yellow to red, becoming a red giant.
It will then cast off its outer layers as a planetary nebula, and leave behind it's corpse known as a white dwarf. But before that, the gravity of passing stars will gradually pull the outer planets away from the sun. Some planets will be destroyed, others ejected into space. Over the course of trillions of years, when a white dwarf, it is likely that the Sun will be left with none of the original planets, asteroids, or moons in orbit today.

Crystal Caves is a side-scrollingplatformvideo game, developed and published by Apogee Software for IBM PC compatibles.
The game was distributed under the Apogee model, meaning it was divided into three episodes with the first available as shareware, which designer Frank Maddin said 'worked pretty well for the time.'[2]
Plot[edit]
Mylo Steamwitz is a down-on-the-luck space trader. Each game in the series follows Mylo going to the planet Altair to collect enough crystals from its mines to finance his latest get-rich-quick scheme.
Volume 1: Troubles with Twibbles[edit]
Twibbles are the hottest new pet in the galaxy, so Mylo hopes to earn enough crystals to buy a twibble farm. He succeeds and buys his farm. However, twibbles breed so quickly that the market is soon over-saturated, and Mylo is stuck with a planet overrun with twibbles.
Volume 2: Slugging It Out[edit]
Gravity Shot: Planet Destroyer Mac Os X
After selling his twibble farm for a loss, Mylo heads back to Altair. A recent war has created a demand for medicinal slugs, so now Mylo wants to buy a slug farm. He collects enough crystals to do so, and for a while, business is booming. However, the slugs soon burrow their way into an abandoned salt mine and perish, depriving Mylo of his stock.
Volume 3: Mylo Versus the Supernova[edit]
A late-night infomercial inspires Mylo to quit farming and try his hand at real estate. He collects enough crystals to buy an entire solar system from Rip Eweoff. Mylo plans to turn the system into a vacation resort: tropical getaways on the inner planets, ski slopes on the outer planets, and luxury hotels in the middle. However, mere minutes after he buys the solar system, the star goes supernova, destroying the system. As Mylo looks at the nebula where the solar system once was, he's hit with an idea. He builds a restaurant overlooking the nebula. Thanks to its spectacular view of the nebula, the restaurant becomes the hottest spot in the galaxy, and Mylo finally makes his millions.
Gameplay[edit]
The game begins in a main level containing the entrances to 16 caves. To complete the game, Mylo must collect all the crystals in all the caves. Mylo can complete the caves in whichever order he chooses. Mylo can quit a cave at any time, but in doing so, will negate all progress he made in that level.
Each cave consists of some simple puzzles to solve. Pulling a lever will open the door of a corresponding colour. There will also be switches that Mylo can use to activate and deactivate obstacles.
Mylo is armed with a rocket gun to destroy enemies and obstacles. Mylo begins the game with five rockets, but can collect more as the game goes on. There are many other power-ups to help Mylo:
- P-Pill – Supercharges Mylo's gun so it can destroy all enemies with a single shot
- G-Pill – Reverses gravity, allowing Mylo to walk on the ceiling.
- Stop Signs – Freeze all enemies on the screen, allowing Mylo to sneak past them

Mylo begins each level with three hit points. Lose all hit points, and you go back to the start of the level. Finish a level with all hit points, and you get a bonus score of $50,000.
Development[edit]
Crystal Caves was inspired by Miner 2049er. The main character's name, 'Mylo Steamwitz', was coined by George Broussard and was meant to sound like a loser's name. Most graphics were created by Frank Maddin.[3]
Development on Crystal Caves began back when George Broussard was still releasing games under the name Micro F/X. A few months into the development (when about 50–70% of the game was complete[3]) Broussard joined Apogee and Crystal Caves became an Apogee product.[2] It was originally going to be released on September 5, 1991 but was delayed for a month.[4]
On October 24, 2005, 3D Realms (formerly Apogee) released a maintenance patch to fix a bug in the game which set the player's computer's clock backwards 100 years after playing on Windows XP.[5]
By October 2020, a High Definition remake of the game was developed by Emberheart Games giving the game additional colours, animations and music tracks.[6]
