OT Question for Astronomers

Thanks, Henk. That one does a lot to answer my question. This is, I think, the link you were actually trying to give out second.

I'd still like a picture, moving if possible, interactive if I'm very, very lucky, but I think I have enough to go on now.

Those 'complex seasons' are the problem...

You could try Celestia. I remember having a lot of fun using that program. Not sure how accurate some of it is, my Last astronomy course was several years ago and I haven't really kept up and only found the program a year or so ago.

Whoot!

Cyrien, you are currently my hero. Between the info I got from Henk, the new toy I have in Celestia, and the new patch on Diablo II: LoD I will be happy for days.

This Celestia thing rocks!

Everyone here needs to check it out. You hear me?

Yes, you right now, check it out.

Go.

Main site seems to be down. Get the program here, at the Source forge.

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Celestia will provide me and my family and friends years of enjoyment.

Many many thanks, Cyrien and Loser. I am indeed happy.

Edit: Wish I could type.

I long to see Europa. Those Icy oceans... skies filled with carbon and sulphur... I miss there... *snif*
