but this program is fucking sweet. I've had it for a long time, and never thought to share it with tdub.

If it's old, meh.

I'm into astronomy.
That program looks pretty good...
Are all the locations in real time? For example, if I looked at it right now, would they be in the position they are actually in, in space?

Does anyone know if they have star parties at NCSU like they do at UNCC?

no idea, yeah I found it about 8 months ago, it's fucking great.

I have a few of the scripts, I think one for each planet.

lol indeed, is there any software that would let you see and project past current and potentially future orbits of comets in relation to the earth? (i'm sure there is somewhere)
