I suspect this solar system app was made by artists and programmers and not astronomers, as a demonstration of the anark multimedia programming tool. posted by crunchland at 7:06 AM on November 15, 2003
But most MeFites have that plug-in... Oh, 'anark'? I thought it was 'snark'. Nevermind. posted by wendell at 8:35 AM on November 15, 2003
