Package: ssystem (1.6-18)

3D solar system simulator

An OpenGL Solar System simulator which includes the sun, the nine planets, a few major satellites, and background stars.

This package has since been rewritten and repackaged as Celestia, but since that package has significantly higher hardware requirements than ssystem does, this package is being kept around. Celestia has a better looking solar system, more options, and unlike ssystem, is actually still being worked on, so you probably only want to use this if you have older hardware that cannot run Celestia at a reasonable speed.
