Stargazing Any Heliocentric planetrorium software or site?

AI Thread Summary
Heliocentric planetarium software or sites typically focus on Earth-based sky charts, which limits the perspective to an observer on Earth. Users are seeking alternatives that provide a 3D visualization of planetary movements from an external viewpoint, not just from Earth or the Sun. Recommendations for software that may fulfill this requirement include Celestia and Starry Night. These programs aim to offer a more comprehensive view of the solar system's dynamics. Exploring these options could enhance the understanding of heliocentric movements from a unique perspective.

TL;DR Summary
planetrorium softwares or sites normally show observer-based sky from earth. Any method of seeing heliocentric movements of planets/ other heavenly bodies?
All planetrorium softwares or sites that I have came across so far invariably show the observer-based sky chart from earth.

Is there any method or software or site showing 3D video of heliocentric movements of planets/ all heavenly bodies, as seen by an "external" observer (not earth-based), meaning, the observer is not sitting on the Sun, but is seeing the Sun and bodies from outside of solar system or somewhere in the middle above, below it?

Thanks.

Try Celestia.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
