*** PLANETARY ORBITAL ANIMATION ***
This is an animation of three planets orbiting a sun. The planets
follow realistic elliptical orbits and their speeds obey Kepler's
laws. One of the planets has an orbiting moon. If you look carefully
you can see the shadow as one planet eclipses another one.
The orbital calculations were performed by the RTAG (Ray Tracing
Animation Generator) program. The image was rendered using POV-Ray.
The DTA program was used to combine the frames into the FLI file.
PLAY.EXE should be used to view this animation.
Included are the RTAG control file, ORBIT.RTA, and the POV-Ray scene
file, ORBIT.POV.
