Make a System for comets!
PLZ!
-
Already been said by me. I'm sure Dan has taken it into consideration.
-
Make a System for comets!
Explain your request in more detail. Describe a comet simulation that would be completely satisfying.
-
Every periodic comet and some major non-periodics
-
Exactly.
I would love to see this.
-
And the planets. ;) I don't think it would be that great if it was only comets.
-
That's what it menat. :D
-
Would be fun of the gas giants (and maybe the terristial planets) change the orbits of the comets! ;D ;D ;D
-
Your talking of Gerhels 2 and 3!
-
Comets!
-
I like Comet Lulin and Swan...
-
I know, cyanogen is awesome in comets!
Here's a recent one...
-
:o
-
I know

Truly a glimpse into the future.

Every day I will give a quote on comets... Today my cometary quote is on
1P/Halley
Halley's Comet or Comet Halley (officially designated 1P/Halley) is the most famous of the periodic comets and can currently be seen every 75–76 years. Many comets with long orbital periods may appear brighter and more spectacular, but Halley is the only short-period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye, and thus, the only naked-eye comet certain to return within a human lifetime. During its returns to the inner solar system, it has been observed by astronomers since at least 240 BC, but it was not recognized as a periodic comet until the eighteenth century when its orbit was computed by Edmond Halley, after whom the comet is now named. Halley's Comet last appeared in the inner Solar System in 1986, and will next appear in mid-2061.

um... wheres the other two? lol

???

Sorry. How about everyone make a system of periodic comets? Then we can get it faster and put them on here as like, say, Our Solar System - Periodic Comets # through #. Remember XML. And so we can get prescice orbits. Go to at least third decimal. e.g. 2.549 AU If the third is a zero use a fourth.
Who wants 1P-25 P?
Who wants 26P-50P?
51P-75P?
76P-100P?
I call 101P-125P I like Swift-Tuttle
126P-150P?
151P-175P?
176P-200P?
I call 201P-222P I want lots of LINEARs

I will include data for at least several hundred comets in the next release.
I've got ways of automating much of the data entry and collection, so don't go to too much trouble.
(I don't promise that comets will look any better though, eventually they will, but not for the initial v2 release.)
-
:( I'm gonna do it now. Cause I already started. If no one else will do it. I will. Is this compatible with Horizons Automator? GSim is. I can't seem to work Horizons Automator though. So...
-
I'll be happy just to have a system with comets. I always wondered where they are in our solar system.
