This program is for a computerised orrery (a model of the planets' motions) showing all the planets and Halley's Comet in an animated display. The display covers one complete orbit of the comet from 1948 to 2024, in three 'frames'. It shows the progress of the comet through the outer Solar System (Jupiter to Pluto) at two-year intervals, and through the inner Solar System (Mercury to Mars) at 10-day intervals.
