I'm interested in a detailed digital orrery. I don't care if the orrery is simulating the physics of the solar system or not, but I would like all of the following to be correct: 1. positions and orbits of all planets. 2. positions of all known planetary satellites with respect to their planet and each other. orbits, too. 3. correct inclinations for all planets and satellites. Does anyone know if something like this already exists? If not, does anyone have any idea how one would go about gathering all of these data? Thanks for any information. -josh simons -- simons@think.com thinking machines corporation 245 first street tel: 617.234.2844 cambridge, ma 02142-1214 fax: 617.234.4444
