New 3D model of solar system and sky

[bish]

Great stuff.

This is a cool app. I really enjoy it, very interesting and educational.

Thanks

Excellent . You can go back to 1900 & forward to 2100 - great

[MikeWilson]

That is excellent work and I've learnt quite a few things from playing around with it for a while. For instance - how imperceptible the planets become when scaled down to 'true' size and quite how tremendous the timescales involved are - for instance, I'm able to make my entire life disappear in the course of a fraction of an orbit of Neptune, despite it moving at around 5.4 kilometers per second. Staggering...

Very fun to play with, just whittled away the best part of half an hour fiddling with it! (Steady on!)

Excellent app. Looking forward to the new features.

Hi,

We are happy to tell you that we have a new little model on our website

http://www.solarsystemscope.com/

called Season Scope - shows actual position of the Sun and the Moon for your location with lots of information:

sunrise, sunset, lenght of day, moon phase and more...Your locationwill remainsaved.

We hope you will find it interesting J

[yesyes]

very nice indeed !!!

One note though. I personally hate websites that automatically play some sort of sound or music. I'd prefer it if it was muted by default, if you must have sound at all ... ;-))

[mcrossley]

Same here - music off by default please.

Hi,

After the success of SolarSystemScope we have launched a new Watch & Play model

Sun Moon Scope

focused on the Sun and the Moon as they appear from the given location of the Earth surface:

- current position of the Sun, its trajectory, time and azimuth of sunrise and sunset

- moon phases, current position and trajectory of the Moon

- seasons, solstices and equinoxes in chart

But the most interesting part is to drag the model in time and watch changes during a day or year.

(polar day and night, analemma and situations on the equator are our favourite)

Enjoy it :-)

That's a very cool interface!!!

Hi,

We still continue to develop planets-related models but

for Chrismas we have something special:

Can you imagine christmas wishes from people all over world in a single place?

We´ve made the Neverending Book, that makes it possible.

Christmas-Wishes-Book

You are welcome to write your wish or message for somebody you know, for the world or just for yourselfa

And together we can make a true christmas story.
