Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Package name : Planets Version : 0.1.9 Upstream Author : Yaron M. Minsky <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL : http://planets.homedns.org/ License : (GPL) Description : *Planets* is a simple interactive program for playing with simulations of planetary systems, released under the GPL.
*Planets* was originally designed for kids, in particular, for my then 4-year old nephew who is fascinated by astronomy. The user interface is aimed at being simple enough that a fairly young kid can get some joy out of it. But the adults who have used it have found it to be pretty fun as well. Planets is great for teaching graviation on planetlevel.
