An interactive, educational and accurate Solar System simulation
A planetarium on your Desktop!
PlanetWerks is a three-dimensional widget-sized tour through our solar system. A sophisticated control system brings you amazing views and fun facts! Movement in PlanetWerks 2 incorporates accurate 2-body motion; so objects orbit the sun the same way they do in the actual solar system!
Screenshots
Also included, switch to a linear scale model to see just how vast the solar system really is. Four levels of precision rotation and zoom control to help get those great views! Then click planets and satellites for fun facts and statistics!

There is already a Russian version which you can find here: http://widgets.opera.com/widget/5683
I am dependent on others for translations as my first language is English :| If you know of anyone who would be interested...
At the end of every factbox chain there is a link to Wikipedia, I don't think there is enough room to put a link on each one.
Anti-clockwise?
Thanks for your comment!

I've just translated it into Russian, so may I publish this translated version here? All copyrights are saved and license is not changed.

I probably could, but it would almost certainly slow the animation of the widget itself to a crawl

Request: Could you make the sun have animated solar flares ??

The only thing I changed was the text in the factboxes which previously referred to Pluto as a planet. Pluto is still in this simulation

No worries!

I gather it's not set in stone yet - Planet Wars!
What about a config check box to allow us to follow the little planet's fortunes?
