New 3D model of solar system and night sky

[Mito111]

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 :-)

Going to take a look! Thank you!

It's really nice, is there a way to revert the X and/or Y mouse axis though?

 

[Mito111]

Thanks..., and now it´s not possible to revert axis - it will be part of advanced settings in a few months, we are only at the beginning :-)

We are happy to tell you that we have a new little model on our website

http://solarsystemscope.com"

called Season Scope - shows actual position of the Sun and the Moon for your location with lots of information:
sunrise, sunset, length of day, moon phase and more...
Your location will remain saved.

We hope you will find it interesting

Great, there is a desktop version available there. Great work.

Nice job!

New model: How do the Sun and Moon appear to move across the sky?

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 :-)

The thread should get deleted, IMO. Not sure what level of infraction to give. This is the only reason he appears to be coming to the PF, so maybe Spam-2. At least Spam-1, I think.

Spam?
We only want to popularize astronomy among young people.
Our first model is very popular and used in schools around the world.
