Mad props for Hans Ecke’s XPlanet Resources page: http://hans.ecke.ws/xplanet/ http://hans.ecke.ws/xplanet/ For a year or three, I ran this setup on my Linux background desktop. Our team was returning to the United States after working with our colleagues at the European Southern Observatory https://www.eso.org/public/ https://www.eso.org/public/ and a flight attendant noticed the image of Earth, Moon, sun on my computer. She asked if I were interested or involved in space exploration, and I told her that we looked at stars from the ground, but could get pretty far. She bent closer to me and murmured, “The pilots have just heard from the radio, there has been an explosion of the Space Shuttle.” 2003, somewhere over Greenland. Anyway: XPlanet rocks. https://xplanet.sourceforge.net/maps.php https://xplanet.sourceforge.net/maps.php
