[Psudo]

I wrote a little animated solar system simulator in JavaScript which I wanted to show off. It contains about 150 objects and their orbits: the Sun (the only motionless object in the simulator), the 8 planets, the 5 dwarf planets, about 60 asteroids, and about 75 Kuiper Belt objects (aka Trans-Neptunian Objects).

It has some interactive aspects, too:
- Click on any of the dots to highlight it get a little window of basic information about it.
- Use the arrow keys to move about the page.
- Use + and - to zoom in and out.
- Use the PageUp and PageDown keys to speed up and slow down the animation speed.
- Use the Home key to center the sun in your browser window.

Wikipedia was the source for all the data. As such, it is probably wrong and certainly undependable. It doesn't represent any specific time because Wikipedia has no information about where they are in their orbits relative to others at a given time. Also, it's rendered in 2D, so there's some distortion from the flattening of orbital inclination. Also, yes, I am aware that there is a technical distinction between KBOs and TNOs. It's just not relevant in this context.

But, despite those limitations, it's all pretty and stuff. Criticisms or ideas for improvements are welcome.

Only in the way a stick figure is similar to the Mona Lisa.

The only advantage my version has is that you don't have to download and install it first. It's just a webpage.
