I hope I'm not annoying anyone with this post.<br /><br />I just saw the Discovery program on the New Horizon project: sending a probe to photograph Pluto.<br /><br />I'm looking for the best software I can buy that will let me explore our solar system. The planets and moons would have texture that you can zoom into and see mountains, other geological features, etc. But the software has to be extremely up to date... And have the feauture to upload new data. <br /><br />I'm looking for a software package that will show me the rotation, not just of the well known planets, but also the newest bodies; the dwarf planets, and 10th planet, Pluto, Charon the moon, Xena(Aries.)<br /><br />I'm hoping to find a software package that will help me explore our active solar system almost as flexible as if I had a 3-d model of the solar system in front of me.<br /><br />I would appreciate anyone suggestions of what software to get. There are allot of software out there, but most are only still pictures or dots that show the movements of the planet. I'm sure everyone who is a member of this site, know more about astronomy then I and would have found the software package I'm talking about.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Alex<br />
