you can also go to http://www.projectrho.com/ and find some interesting stuff regarding 3D space.

Also, if you're interested in that kind of stuff, there is also the software Astrosynthesis located at...

http://www.nbos.com/products/astrosynthesis

The nice thing about Astrosynthesis is that it will also show system maps. If you know when a planet will reach its closest approach to the star or its furthest approach to the star, you can modify the database to include that within your files and generate a spiffy system map showing planetary locations at a given date.

Heck, I used it to create a system map of the Earth for use with the year 2100 AD for Transhuman Space.
