Jupiter’s Moons
written by Christopher Mihos
This site, from Case Western Reserve University, is an applet that simulates the observation of Jupiter's Galilean moons.  The visitor can step through the simulation and observe the moons' positions at different times.  The applet automatically plots the distance of each moon from the planet as a function of time.
