Tour the solar system from a browser window.

"Eyes on the Solar System", currently in beta, from JPL and Caltech. Yes, you have to allow a 3rd party plugin. Sorry about that. Zoom in to Earth, and the sunrise line is accurate for the current time. Zoom to asteroids, satellites, or planets. Rewind time to watch Voyager go home.

While I'm sitting here typing, I'm pedalling furiously to generate the electricity and Sue's had me on Vax duty the past week.
