mzatanoskas Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I know there's Stellarium for my planetarium needs, but are there any noob friendly free orrery programs out there? Preferably with an easy to use interface and nice graphics, more for fun and to get a feel of the solar sytem than to accurately map stuff? I've seen a bunch of stuff online, but it seems very much of the windows 98 variety and focused on accurate data and simulation with no eye candy.

RyanJ Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 It's not as good as some of the software out there (yet) but Wolfram Alpha may help you out too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
