This project allows the user to select ephemeris bodies of their choice, along with a desired date range, and generate a plot animation of the orbits fixed in a heliocentric frame (relative to the Sun). The GUI interface also offers the user the ability to change colors of the body/trail and input a desired step size value to slow down or speed up the simulation.
