SOLAR SYSTEM'S CENTER OF GRAVITY - Though we often say that the planets orbit the Sun, it is more accurate to say that the planets AND the Sun all actually orbit the common center of mass of the entire Solar System—a point known as the "Solar System barycenter." Here "www.celestia4all.com" uses the incredible, free astronomy-simulation software "CELESTIA" to show you this important concept. May all of your journeys be joyous!
As a professional astronomer, author, and national columnist, let me congratulate you on a superb job. This makes the barycenter come alive. Good work indeed!
