Solar System

This is what the our Solar System looks like right now!

This Solar System Simulator is an interactive Python-based program that allows you to explore and visualize the planets in our solar system. It uses the Pygame library to render a 2D simulation of the solar system, where you can zoom, pan, and follow planets in real time.

The program syncs with real planet positions. The simulation includes:

Dynamic planet positions based on real data from the de440.bsp ephemeris.
Simulated asteroid belt with randomly generated asteroids.
Interactive controls to change time speed, zoom, and follow specific planets.
Planet and moon info panels that display relevant information about each celestial body.

Controls

Pan: Left-click and drag the mouse.
Zoom: Use the mouse wheel.
Click on a planet: Follow it or view its information.
Arrow keys: Adjust time speed.
Spacebar: Pause time.
R: Reset time.
Free View: Stops following a planet.
Sync Time: Synchronize the simulation with real-time.

The simulation provides a visually rich experience, with planet and moon orbits, starry backgrounds, and glowing effects around the Sun. You can interact with the simulation through various buttons and controls, making it a fun way to learn about the solar system.
