New 3D model of solar system and night sky

Hi, for all of you we´ve made new user-friendly interactive 3D model of solar system and night sky with real-time planet´s positions.

http://www.solarsystemscope.com/ (requires flash)

Application in a simple way helps students and laymen to understand the movements of the planets and to recognize constellations.

For astronomers it also brings other interesting views and various settings.

It's free and without needing to install, so definitely try it :-)

Was playing around with it, the funny thing is that it shows the sun up in the sky at 2300hrs?

Hi,
Very nice and well done. [smilie=good-job.gif]

Quickly go through it and found that the tooltip label on the time control "FAST FOWARD IN TIME" and "FAST BACKWARD IN TIME" seem to be in reverse.

I think you need to set your location under settings->earth obsevatory. Default is greenwich... there is no Singapore, so had to key in Singapore latitude and longitude manually.

Have a nice day.

Hmm... look ok in my computer... Sun is below the horizon(shaded in red) at 2300hr.

Have a nice day.

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 location will remain saved.

We hope you will find it interesting

Hi,

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

http://www.sunmoonscope.com/

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 :-)

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. The avatar wearing winter clothing is cute too!

Hi,

We still continue to develop planets-related models (more on solarsystemscope.com)
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.

www.christmas-wishes-book.com

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.
