Interactive 3D model of Solar System and night sky

An interesting Website for those teaching Science in English. 
http://www.solarsystemscope.com/# 
(Excerpt from the website)
Solar System Scope is Flash based 3D model of Planets of Solar System and the Night Sky.

The Model consists of 3 main Views (Heliocentric, Geocentric and Panaromatic), including:
Precise Positions of all Celestial Objects according to NASA Calculations
Schematic Distances and Sizes for better understanding of Planet Surfaces and Motions
• a unique feature to Drag Planets through their Orbits
• a lot of interesting Settings which allow you to Observe particular Motions and Events
Distance Calculator to measure distances between Planets even while in motion
Earth Observatory set-up with which you can watch Celestial Happenings on your own Night Sky
  Astronomy for Everybody.

Kids play with Planets while Discovering Universe. Our youngest regular visitors are only 7-8 years old. Many Teachers use our model as a practical Source of Education and with SSS they are able to show and simply explain happenings in our Solar System.
