whereas according to the table it should be 206.5 orbits.
How do you calculate it should be 206.5 orbits?

34301 For ArgOfPeriPreces, divide the the value in the δϕ column by 60 (to convert from arcminutes to degrees), then multiply by pi and divide by 180 (to convert from degrees to radians), and finally divide by the orbital period in years.  That should give you the number of years for 1 radian of ap...

Thank you, I'll try it out. In any case, the value for S62 seems more likely to me than the value I calculated myself for 'AscNodePreces'.

Watsisname, can you tell me how to convert the values given in this table into values for 'AscNodePreces' (or 'ArgOfPeriPreces')?  (Values for these parameters must be given in years.)

Do you mean this? scr01122.jpg Everyone has this problem with the earth in SE 0.990. It's because of the textures. There will be an update for this at some point. But I can't...

Script to find distances between one world and others?

You can use WolframAlpha and enter a question like this: ' Distance from Jupiter to Saturn at 2030.08.01 ' WA1.jpg You can try to get WolframAlpha to make something like a list, but I haven't figured out how to get WolframAlpha to make a list relative to a planet other than Earth. I don't know if th...

Script to find distances between one world and others?

I would go straight to Jupiter and use the ' Solar system browser ' or the ' Find object ' tool to select the objects. scr01119.jpg You can enter a desired date directly in the console with these commands: Date "2017.02.08 17:29:34.65" or Date "2017.02.08" or Date "2017"
