An application in which your Macintosh computes the coordinates of the
planets visible to the naked eye (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn), the sun and the moon. The coordinates are given in three
different coordinate systems: the geocentric ecliptic and the
equatorial and horizontal systems of the observer. Further you will
see the magnitude of the planets and the phase of the moon and also
siderial time, mean solar time and the equation of time.
Finally when a solar or lunar eclipse is possible you can also
investigate the eclipse from any place on earth.
Start the application by clicking on the PLANET icon. The screen will
display a data table showing current positions of the sun the moon and
the planets on the screen.
