[seul-edu] New educational app



I don't know if we've mentioned this one before or not.  I saw it just
now when I was fooling around refraining from doing productive work at
my paying job:

<http://www1.las.es/~amil/ssystem/>

Ssystem is, "an OpenGL Solar System simulator. It will let you visit the
Sun, the nine planets and a few major satellites (catalog based
background stars are also supported) with four different camera modes.
Although it's not 100% accurate, planets' positions in a given date are
within a range of the real positions (Dates closer to 8/20/1997, date of
primary elements, are supposed to be more accurate)."
