Hello All

Can I see in The Software some properties of The Orbits of The planets(Like  Eccentricity) ,The  Planet Mass  or The radius of The Event Horizon in a Black Hole?

Many Thanks

Hernan,

If you right-click on an object in WorldWide Telescope you will see the Finder Scope, select Research, then you can look up the object in a range of databases, including Wikipedia which seems to have an excellent amount of information on many planets, stars, galaxies, and other stellar objects.

Currently we do not have any plans to add more information directly into the Finder Scope, given such good information can be located fairly easily on the internet.

I hope this answers you question, if not please feel free to explain further!
