This page controls the display of the 7 other Major Planets (excluding Earth) and shows information on position and distance (in Millions of Km) along with the planet's symbol. How the planets are displayed is selected from View menu.

A note about Pluto: from the 24th August 2006 the International Astronomical Union defined a classification for planets. This excluded Pluto. Several other objects of similar size have been discovered and this number will continue to grow. So to prevent an ever growing number of objects Pluto has been omitted from NightSky.
