Online Earth / Moon /Sun simulator?

Anyone know of a nice online simulator that shows the position of the Earth-Moon-Sun? Something like an Orrery would be good but I can only find this fairly simple one here http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/java/MoonPhase.html

I'm trying to help a fellow on another forum with his question. I'm thinking a good simulator would be better than a thousand words.

Thumbs up

Kevin, Try 'Home Planet', here > www.fourmilab.ch/
Scroll down to the bottom. Might like to try 'Earth & Moon' & 'Your Sky', as well.

Thanks for that. Not quite what I'm looking for though. I'd like something more Orrery like that's in full motion? A tricky one I know.

What a pity the link for solar system live didn't work.

Thanks for the links. I'll look through them in more detail when I'm not as sleepy.
