And, if you don't mind me plugging it, I presented a simulation of
solar system gravitation at Ohio LinuxFest; it was very well received.

The most important part is the series of scripts - hopefully fairly
self-explanatory.

The point of the presentation was introducing Python, not gravitation,
but it should give you a good idea of how easy (and fun) vPython makes
physics.
