Just thought that it would make a great addition to the features already implemented. I see this being a sub-menu to the main menu and looking something like the lunar & solar predictions for each planet and have another menu item with live stats of all the planets on one page (similar to multi-satellite tracking mode).

What are your thoughts?

Just started adding Mercury's equations of motion.

pwschattenberg commented 12 years ago

Mercury is finished. Let's play around with this before I add any more planets.

pwschattenberg commented 12 years ago

Earth added. Now I can create a geocentric universe!

pwschattenberg commented 12 years ago

We need a gui for this so I can check my calculations.

pwschattenberg commented 12 years ago

Slowly working on a 'GUI.'

pwschattenberg commented 12 years ago

Half way there. Initial GUI completed. 50% of planets included in calculations. Jupiter through Pluto remaining.

pwschattenberg commented 12 years ago

Saturn and Neptune don't seem to be displaying correct info eventhough the orbital elements check out.

pwschattenberg commented 12 years ago

All elements added and formatted properly. Above comment still stands.

I will change back to the VSOP87 data in the future instead of how I'm calculating it now.

pwschattenberg commented 12 years ago

Fixed. No need to use VSOP87 (too much work). Simple error of adding pi to the planet's ra.
