The positions and rotations of each of the planets and their moons are accurate to the current date and time! (As a result, this can also serve as a real-time clock.) As the day progresses you can observe the Great Red Spot of Jupiter as it wheels across the face of the giant planet. Watch the moons of Saturn in their daily dance around the majestic ringed world or the Earth rotate under your feet.
