[Media] Yesterday's eclipse as seen from Spain, simulated in Ephemeris Explorer, built with Rust and Bevy.

To explain further what this video shows: this is the results of the solar system being simulated with Newtonian, point-mass gravity from 1st January 1950 to 12th August 2026. As you can see, the eclipse is (mostly) correctly predicted after more than 76 years of simulation, starting only from the bodies' state vectors and gravitational parameters.

I've shared this project here before, but to reiterate: Ephemeris Explorer lets you build solar systems (or any gravitationally bound system) and simulate them with Newtonian point-mass gravity. You can also add spacecraft and manoeuvres to plan flight paths within these systems!

There's a lot more I plan to add to Ephemeris Explorer in the future (see the README), but it takes time as this is a hobby project I work on in my free time. Hope this helps more people who might be interested find their way to it!

The video being a GIF results in noticeable banding, sorry about that!
