I like how you can stop the solar system on any date. Too bad I can't press "activate" and be transported back to that day in my life. lol

I've been observing Jupiter and it's 4 moons with a 25x telescope for the last couple of weeks... it's been located 12:00 o'clock high in the sky (straight overhead) at about midnight here.

It's interesting to note the arrangement of the 4 moons change from night to night.
