## Solar System (#227)

Kaltx=EC Rubyists,

This week's quiz is to create a solar system simulator. It will a date
as input then return a list of the distances to each planet from Earth
at that date.

Have fun!

Lovely maths! I found the Horizons web site too - I was hoping to
implement an application to extract the necessary data via net::telnet
library but couldn't see how to get the data I needed! - there's an
awful lot of it!

Is anyone doing anything with this? I'm quite curious to see some
solutions, and I'm definitely not clever enough yet to come up with
something.
