Default [OT]: Celestia and Earth\'s doom

Someone mentioned this freeware program at another forum; get it here:

http://ennui.shatters.net/celestia/


A lot of fun and it has time compression. Was messing around with the time compression and noticed something VERY disturbing about Earth's orbit around 44,000 to 60,000 A.D.: it becomes unstable, and after a while the Earth actually goes THROUGH the sun! lol

Ok, probably not very accurate (I hope :eek depiction of stellar cartography over the long run, but still entertaining.

You can get the movie and pics of our inevitable doom here for your viewing pleasure.
