solar systems - education - politics?

We Answered:

To spend money searching for life on other galaxies is a human trait.

The search for the unknown is fascinating.

It could be compared to traveling to other countries out of curiosity.

Allen Said:

Free astronomy software that lets me create my own theoretical solar system?

We Answered:

I am the only one in my high school to take an independent study in astronomy. At college, I took the basic astronomy class and was a lab assistant at the same time which had plenty of students doing a double take. Also had to give a lecture because the professor was ill and had a physics professor assisting me. It turned out that he was hiding nearby. I have not heard of a program for a make believe planetary system. Google Earth has extras like zooming in on the Moon/Mars/etc. Go surfing.

I would just call up astronomy departments at universities and ask this question to the professors. Track down an observatory. They would love to talk your ear off on it.
