Orbit Viewer is a visualization of the orbits of every major body in JPL's HORIZONS database.
Features
- To-scale, moving model of the solar system
- Orbits for every planet, Pluto, and 155 of their satellites
- 3D models and textures for 35 of these objects
- Time controls
Orbit Viewer is still in development. Expect bug fixes and big new features in later updates.
Exactly what it says it is. View is restricted to the orbital plane of the selected body so it's not possible to, for example, get a polar view. Controls are menu-based and not direct manipulation, other than zoom. Very creative.
