Solar system sim, built for physical accuracy.
I made a 3D interactive solar system you can navigate and set to any date between 1000 and 3000. The positions of the planets and moons are computed from VSOP87-type models and checked against JPL Horizons data, accurate to within 30 arcseconds for planets and 30 km for the Moon over 1800-2050, so eclipses, alignments, and moon phases are physically real. It's still a work in progress, so feedback is wanted. If you try it and something feels off, confusing, or worth adding, I'd be glad to hear it.
