not in repo not in flatpak no appimage no github presence I could see
looks like your option is to go to sourceforge, download the targz, read the readme install script, and install it yourself

this is just from cursory research; I am not answering your question definitively

Xplanet has been abandoned for at least 10 years and you'll have trouble installing its last version.

Best alternative: KStars - closest functionality for planet rendering and astronomical visualization.

Other options:

Celestia - 3D space simulator
Stellarium - planetarium software

All available in Solus repos:

sudo eopkg install kstars celestia stellarium
