Position of Planetary systems at given time

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a comprehensive dataset detailing the positions and velocities of major solar system objects at a specific time, specifically January 1, 2000. They plan to use this data for an n-body simulation on their website to illustrate the evolution of these celestial bodies. A detailed response provides the positions and velocities for various planets and moons as of January 1, 2005, including coordinates and speed metrics. The Sun is referenced as the central point with coordinates set to zero. This information is intended to help back-evolve the positions for other dates as needed.

Does anybody have a list of the positions and velocities of all major objects in the solar system at the same time? (i.e. at Jan. 1 2000 12:00 AM, Earth was here compared to the sun, and moving with this velocity, and Jupiter was here, and the sun had this velocity, etc?)

I recently wrote a simple n body code, and was going to throw it onto my website as a little outreach thing. I'd like to show a set of inputs that resembles the solar system, so that people can look at the evolution of each body. However, i need a realistic map of wherestuff was at any given time (i can then backevolve it to whichever date is needed)

Thanks,

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
