hmm adding coordinates in space would be hard, because there is no beginning and end and it is so large. but i guess we should do it around earth as most of the coordinates are assuming you look from earth.
(heavens above, etc)

Well, I have an idea: what if we add relative distances in Ubox 3 so that we can be able to comprehend, well, distances! Or rather, expand the feature, since it is in Ubox 2. (Information like Earth's distance to the sun is still stating a relative distance)

Well, for precise insertion of objects in the solar system at a given time using data from JPL Horizon I use the Gravity Simulator with your addon Horizons. After generate th simulation there I save it in the format xml for US. It still works.

I want to add Comet ISON's coordinates to Universe Sandbox so that it may be an object in Universe Sandbox...I do not want to add any comments....I want to add a Comet........Dudes, a comet is headed straight for our solar system and God is telling me that it is a big deal....it is supposed to whip around our sun and read the Bible for the rest of the answer...just sayin. ...and besides that, it is named Comet ISON....I....SON....The Great I AM, and the Great I SON...idunno man. On October 1, 2013 it will pass right by Mars...read about it....Comet ISON, Nibiru, the winged planet...whatever you want to call it...it is coming..
*facepalm* Nibiru? Comet ISON? Gr...  *sigh* you still believe that? Okay i will explain you.
Comet ISON looks winged because Hubble is orbiting Earth and the comet is Moving. it takes 3 picture to create a perfect picture. so it looks like Winged.  :-\

Take a look for yourself...here is the latest image of ISON from the space telescope site...

1) Zoom all the way out and spot ISON
2) Hit the "DARKER" button a few times..
3) Zoom in to ISON
4) Now what are you going to say? Anomaly? Bad pixels? Reflection? I don't think so...

That picture made of 3 picture, combined to one. why it was winged? because Hubble take each picture from different site.  ::)

what if we add relative distances...

What do you mean? Can you give an example?
