What astronomy software has the ability to show earth and moon in the same
view, preferable from selectable angles / distances, and also indicating
the ecliptic plane, and earth's and moon's orbital planes.

Or maybe there is a website showing this somewhere?

Thanks

Thanks, I already have Celestia installed but haven't been able to set it
up for this. I guess I will have to do some reading... Thanks again.
