Dockapp that displays the Solar System viewed from the top

It shows you the solar system viewed from top 90 heliocentric.

The objects have the following colors

Sun - yellow	Mercury - green
Venus - white	Earth - cyan
Mars - red	Jupiter - gray
Saturn - green	Uranus - pink
Neptune - cyan	Pluto is not included since it's way "off course"

A left click on the window changes the view between inner and outer planets. A left click on the date increases the day/month/year. A right click on the date does the opposite. Click the right mouse button on the solar system to reset the date to the current date which is in Universal Time.
