Re: [APML] Jupiter and Saturn Simulations

[Anthony Ayiomamitis <anthony@perseus.gr>]

Ulrich,

        The best animation software is by Brendan Murphy whose JAVA applet does
an incredible job to simulate the current position of Jupiter and its moons. I
think it also includes Saturn and its moons from what I remember. Have a look
at http://www.cpac.freeserve.co.uk/solar.htm ...

        There is also Gary Nugent's JUPSAT95 program which also is excellent.

Anthony.
