For planets and colonized asteroids partial future orbits are displayed as dots separated by one month interval. Inner planet map (systeminner.png) shows positions of Jupiter, inner planets, important stations and selected asteroids (largest, heaviest or otherwise significant, and few trojans too). Solar System MapsĬoordinate system origin used in maps is the barycenter of the Solar System, which means that the Sun is not exactly at the center. Option -p creates printer-friendly images with white background.

Install above mentioned Python modules in command line:.Instructions for Windows users not familiar with Python or GitHub:
Probably works wherever some recent Python version and above modules work. Program is developed in OpenSuse Tumbleweed Linux and tested also in Windows 10 with Python 3.8.
Matplotlib is used to plot tables and Solar System maps. Spktype21 is needed by asteroid data using type 21 format. Some can also be found from Linux distribution package repositories.Įphem and Jplephem make most location calculations. These can be installed with Python pip tool (for example: pip install jplephem). In addition to the Python itself, following modules are required: Latest changes can be found from CHANGELOG.md Required Python Modules For background and examples, see: background.md Program uses real orbit data from NASA, but not real year 2350 locations.
