How to play

Drag to orbit the focused body, scroll or pinch to zoom. The toolbar picks a body, pauses, speeds time up or runs it backwards, jumps to now or to a date (1980 to 2070), and switches to a log scale. On a keyboard: Tab for the next body, Space to pause, comma and full stop for slower and faster, M for the scale, F for free flight, H for every key.
