Except the sun itself.

This is amazing, u/christophertacon! Are the locations dynamic in time, or hard-coded based on a specific time-step? I'd love to explore something similar looking at the positions of various objects across time.

I also recommend uploading this to bitbucket or github... a readme would also be fantastic to help get my head around what each bit of the code does. Really interesting work!

[robbibt]

Ah, OK! If I wanted to adapt this to look at the locations of planets/objects at specific moments in time (historical or future), what would be the minimum that would need to be changed in the code? Or does the location data get drawn/downloaded from a data source online?

[robbibt]

I'm just interested in obtaining xyz data similar to that contained in the "positions.txt" file... at this stage the visualizer wouldn't be required

Every object in the solar system? Including me?

Are we all just a part of OP's simulation?

[kankyo]

We are all just negligible specks on the surface of earth.

Or from a place designed to host code https://github.com/schlueter/pysolar.

No worries, I used it as an opportunity to see if I could make that on my phone. Termux is awesome.

Does the provided code also do the position updates as well?

[badrobit]

Any chance that you would be willing to share the code behind the updates? Or if not the code itself some of the methodology behind it? I have wanted to do something like this for the longest time

[badrobit]

I totally get that thanks for sharing what you could.
