Amphion Basic Capabilities

The current implementation of Amphion uses libraries in the Space Science domain to create animations of astronomical events. Follow the links below to see some full size samples of the interfaces and animations:


Animation of Mars as seen from Earth: Presents a view of Mars as well as the corresponding positions of Earth, Mars, and Sun that produce such a view.

Animation of Saturn as seen from Cassini: Our databases allow us to predict the positions of Saturn and Cassini in the year 2005 and to display such an animation.

Graphical Interface: Take a look at the graphical interface that will soon be available through the web.

Text-based Interface: Take a look at the text-based interface that will soon be available through the web.
