Notes

• This page displays the current locations of the planets, some of their major satellites, and selected minor bodies of the Solar System
• The calculations use orbital elements and equations from NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics.
• Drag with the mouse to tilt and rotate the view, press shift and drag to move the viewpoint
• Asteroids 1-10000 and all periodic comets are shown when the relevant option is selected
• Calculations are reasonably accurate within a few decades of today's date but increasingly less so the further from now you get
