In the year 2017, some people speculated if the planets showed the great sign of Revelation 12 on the 23rd of September.
The following script tries to demonstrate what would have been seen at that day in the Sky:
The script
// vim: ft=javascript
//
// ..\runScript.bat great-sign_revelation-12.ssc
//
// ---------------------------------------------------
//
// Now a great sign appeared in heaven:
// a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet,
// and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
core.setObserverLocation(
1, // longitude
1, // latitude
1 // Altitude
);
core.setDeltaTAlgorithm("WithoutCorrection");
core.setDate(
'2017-09-23T12:00:00',
'local' , // or 'utc'
true // enable Delta T correction
);
LandscapeMgr.setFlagAtmosphere(false);
ConstellationMgr.setFlagLines (true);
StelMovementMgr.zoomTo(
100, // Angle of field of view
0 // Duration for zoom to take place
);
core.setTimeRate(0);
SolarSystem.setFlagPlanets(true);
