Solar System Model
« on: September 20, 2020, 01:03:42 am »
I'm not sure if I ever made one of these as a windows program, if I did it was over a year ago probably. But here is a model of the Solar System with 8 planets and Pluto. The distance isn't true of course, but the orbital periods are real compared to Earth's. I used NASA figures on those. Use your mouse wheel to speed it up and slow back down. You can't stop it, just slow it down to how it was when it started. I may add more detail to this someday. But I like it. :)

I was right, I did make another one, in fact a better one in August 2019. But the only thing my newer one has (above) is the ability to speed up and slow down the planets. The older one doesn't. But the older one you can zoom in and also tilt the planetary rotation. Here is the older one from last year. This one even has our Moon going around the Earth, with the help of STxAxTIC. If you go through the code of the older one and compare with the newer one, there's a LOT more code and I used the older way of making a circle which also uses more code. This older one also lets you put your mouse over each planet to get the names of them.

Re: Solar System Model

Cool model... I particularly like the tilt and zoom... Nicely done.

I have been interested in Astronomy since primary school when I first saw Saturn through one of those 'collapsible' telescopes. Once I started working, I purchased my own telescope, until my working hours conflicted with 'viewing' hours. My cousin 'inherited' my scope. Then I bought a copy of "Practical Astronomy with your calculator". Armed with a scientific calculator, pencil and paper... 45 minutes later I could calculate the next Lunar Eclipse and if it could be seen from my current location....  It took about the same time to calculate the approximate position for each planet... 8 to 10 hours... and that was for just 'one' point in time...

I wore out that calculator decades ago... My eyesight is not what it used to be... Computer models are a BIG interest now... Your model has reminded me of the joy of Astronomy... Thank you.

Wow that's great Johno! Earlier this year I took a free online college course about using an online telescope. I've used online telescopes for almost 10 years now but I finally took the course. It's from the Open University in England. If anyone is interested, it's here:

Plus there's the simple (and free) NASA/Harvard/Smithsonian online telescope anyone can do here:

Good work Ken, I've been working on my star system simulator a good bit lately and I credit you for getting me out of my coder's block. It was those cool looking buttons on your calculator ap that did it. After that, the ideas kept coming.

Interesting gif that Danilin put up, I've come up against the complexity of ship movement in a system of such a dynamic nature.

And is the sun in orbit to some center of gravity of the Milky way? And is the Milky way in orbit to some Universe center of gravity?

Galactic cluster, not the universe. That would imply some kind of grand universal center anyway, for which there is probably none

Pretty, and the ring around Saturn is a nice touch.

The Moon shouldn't be in front of Earth all the time tho.
QB64 has the power to include at least 10,000 asteroids.

A nice program. It gave me the idea to "construct" a rocket - let's see whether also it takes off. ;)
