Astronomy question

E.P. Grondine — 4/1/2005 1:52:18 AM (archived)

Hi Raoul -

Do you know those mechanical devices from the 1700's and 1800's which showed the position of the planets in relation to the sun - there's a word for it, but it completely escapes me right now -

I was wondering, is there an internet site which shows the relation of the Sun and planets on the planetary "plane" right now, at the current time? One you just go to, and there it is?

thanks,
Ed
