Example

Hello Earth

Here is how a simple modeling looks like in StellarPy:

from stellarpy import Star, Body, Make

SUN = Star('Sun', m=1.98892e30)
Make(SUN, color=(1, 1, 0, 1))

EARTH = Body('Earth', major=SUN, m=5.9726e24,
             a=149598262, e=0.01671022, i=0.00005, w=114.20783, O=348.73936, M=358.617)
Make(EARTH, color=(0, 0, 1, 1))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from pyqtgraph.Qt import QtCore, QtGui
    import sys
    if (sys.flags.interactive != 1) or not hasattr(QtCore, 'PYQT_VERSION'):
        QtGui.QApplication.instance().exec_()

Installation

pip install stellarpy
