Real Solar System Simulator

Thank you to the developers and the community for all you do. I am pleased to report that I have created a realistic solar system simulator.

What makes this simulator unique is that it gets its actual planetary positions from NASA’s Horizons System. It can also reproduce Halley’s Comet and space probes. The orbits of celestial bodies are represented by lines.

The program has been published in Nikkei Software, a well-known Japanese programming magazine, and we hope Panda3D will catch on in Japan as well.

Sincerely yours
