Οι αδαείς, ελαφρόμυαλοι άνθρωποι,                        Innocent light minded men,
πού θαρρούν πως η Αστρονομία μαθαίνεται                   who think that Astronomy can be learnt
μονάχα κοτάζοντας τ’ αστέρια                                           by looking at the stars without knowledge
δίχως τή βαθιά γνώση τών μαθηματικών,                         of Mathematics will,
θά καταλήξουν στή μέλλουσα ζωή πτηνά …                    in the next life, be birds …

Public software
 Orbit classification (Fortran): Taxon v13.1
     Fourier classifier for general orbits in 2D and 3D potentials.
    
 Galactic potential and orbit integrator (Fortran): Galpot
     This package computes potential and force field of 3 Milky Way 
     models: Bahcall & Soneira, Ostriker & Caldwell, and Allen & 
     Santillán. It also integrates orbits in these potentials.Soft_Taxon.htmlSoft_Galpot.htmlshapeimage_9_link_0shapeimage_9_link_1
