Space Forum / Astronomy / July 2009

I have a list of objects given in equatorial coordinates... Is there a programm
which lets me plot a projection of these coordinates (like you would print out a
map of the world) with my datapoints in it?
Greetings,

Breathe deep, mine eyes, the frosty saga of eternal suns.
From unseen depths and dreams unDreamt,
I sing the gleaming cantos of unVanquished space.
By thought, I embrace the universal.

Anyone up for a brief foray into spherical trig?
I'm working on a lunar orbit animation in which I'd like to show the
precession of the nodes.  No big deal, conceptually.  Reduction to
practice is proving to be less than easy.

In honor of the International Year of Astronomy, I've created several
animations that show how a planet spins and orbits.

I hope a few people find 'em useful.
