Bird’s Eye View of the Solar System in Motion – Animation

from the PCC News Desk

This is (sort of) what we look like, a kind of self-reflection! Check out this great animation of the planets of our solar system in motion:

Check out the different options on the screen. For example, in the lower right corner you can choose to view the Copernican view, with the sun at the center of the solar system (this seems to be the default setting). Or the Tychonian view with Earth at the center – interesting…. You can also set a date and speed up or slow down the animation.

Have fun!
