I’m wondering if all the wise internet trawlers of the dope can help me to find a fun toy that I used to visit. It was a relatively simple system that did the orbital mechanics of the solar system, little dots for the planets that orbited the sun and left tracks.
The best part was you could move things around and see what was and wasn’t stable.
I found it at howstuffworks.com years ago, but I haven’t been able to find it since. Any of ya’ll have any ideas?
Was it downloadable, or a java applet, or did it use flash/shockwave? That might help find it.
Try this.

The 3D version looks just like what you were describing. I tried several versions on the net.
I found it on this site.
Not downloadable, I lean towards it being a java applet.
[hijack] I just briefly read your title and thought that you were looking for a genital stimulator. :smack: [/hijack]
It’s actually the Gravitation 3.8 on that page. Thanks!
