Solar Information''

Created by John MacDonald

Solar Info is a tool to become more familiar with our own solar system. As you move your mouse over the planet orbits, they will highlight to more easily identify the orbiting planet. Planet names will be displayed when the mouse cursor approaches the planet in interest. As the mouse moves closer to a planet, the planet enlarges and some quick information about the planet unrolls. Holding your mouse near the center of the planet allows you to see a large planet view and all of the information about the planet.

Alt-F4 quits the program.

Note: This applicatin was NOT created with EPS. However, it reveals similar concepts.
