Eyes on the Solar System is JPLs cool new tool for we 'armchair explorers' to use and follow spacecraft as they explore space.
Check it out here.

As Doug said: ...go find the NEAR mission and watch it's orbital phase with Eros.... see the Pioneer 11 flyby of Jupiter, and go 'OMFG' at the Ulysses trajectory. There's a million things we're still trying to put into it - chances are any suggestions someone might have, we've already got it on a very very unfunded list of 'love to put in...' - but make suggestions

So go for it. Try it out and if you have some cool ideas, leave a message here.

Nope - we don't have that link-straight-in ability yet. We will though, eventually. And yeah - Unity has issues, but it's essentially the only technique to do what we're doing in a browser.

We're shifting from Unity 2.6 to 3.0 soon, which MAY, we HOPE, solve some of the problems. Most of them are with the plugin sadly.
