Solaris was a game for the Atari 2600. The player pilots a space ship through a field of square dots. Every dot the ship reaches disappears and the player is awarded points. The objective is to clear the screen within a predetermined time limit and without getting shot by aliens. After ten levels, completing a bonus level yielded a letter. There were six bonus levels that spelled the word Helios.At higher levels, the ship had to pass a dot twice to make it disappear. As the player completed more levels, the time available for completing a level decreased.

Solaris (Солярис) is a 1972 Russian film and is also a 2002 United States film. Both films are based on the original novel Solaris by Polish author Stanislaw Lem.

Tarkovsky's 1972 version
The 1972 Russian film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, features scenes filmed in Japan and the Soviet Union by cinematographer Vadim Yusov, and is often called a Russian answer to 2001: A Space Odyssey though Tarkovsky himself claimed to dislike 2001 (he referred to it as "cold and sterile"). While both Solaris and 2001 deal intensely with the relationships between humans and machines and the transformation of humanity due to these relationships, Tarkovsky's Solaris is at heart about relationships between humans and the relationship between humans and the Divine. It has achieved cult status as a science fiction film.
The introduction to Solaris is very long and slow, involving car traffic and nothing of the drama and pace it gains later. On direct question from the Soviet censor overseeing the production, Tarkovsky said he made this sequence boring on purpose: "so that the idiots leave before the actual movie starts".

Soderbergh's 2002 version
A second adaptation of Lem's novel by US director Steven Soderbergh was released in 2002. Kris Kelvin is played by George Clooney, Harey (Rheya in English version) by Natasha McElhone. This version of Solaris is a slow, meditative psychodrama set on a space station. The movie's trailer depicted a science fiction love story and may have raised expectations among potential filmgoers that were not met, so many viewers reportedly left confused and disappointed by the film. In addition the burden of being compared to the highly regarded 1972 adaptation, made it difficult to get positive critical appraisal. Nevertheless it did receive a share of positive reviews.

The novel is about a scientific investigation on a planet with a strange ocean, which turns out to be, possibily, alive. Lem uses this as a device to dig deeply into human psychology.

Solaris Operating Environment (OE), usually just referred to as Solaris, is the name of a computer operating system by Sun Microsystems. It is a UNIX dialect.
Early versions, based on BSD UNIX, were called SunOS. The shift to a System V code base in SunOS 5 was marked by changing the name to Solaris 2 (and earlier versions were retroactively named Solaris 1.x). After version 2.6, Sun began to drop the "2." from the name; the most recent versions (as of early 2002) are Solaris 7 and the 64-bit Solaris 8. The Solaris 9 Operating Environment was released 22 May 2002.
Solaris has a reputation for being extremely stable and powerful.
