The Movable Ephemeris (2024)

25 October 2009

The Moveable Ephemeris is the computer version of the famous “machine that marched with the sky” in Yuthuppa.

Click here to see the Gloranthan sky… (maybe)

If Java is installed on your computer and enabled in your web browser, the Ephemeris should display in a separate window.

2024 Update

It’s now 2024, and the ephemeris can be easily run in the web page using the free CheerpJ Applet Runner extension in Chrome. You will need to change the plugins preferences to make its icon appear in the toolbar. Then click the Gloranthan Sky link to open the page, then click the CheerpJ icon in the toolbar – it just loads and works!

Alternatively

It’s now (2020) often difficult to run java applets in web browsers. Make sure you have java installed. Click here to download the zipped Ephemeris java app, unzip and run the EphemerisII.class file.

If you want to take a closer look at the app, the source code is on Mr. Tines website.

The Gloranthan Ephemeris is Copyrighted 2013 by Moon Design. Big time thanks to Nick Brooke, Alex Ferguson and Mr. Tines for their hard work on the Ephemeris.
