I just wanted to show an extremely interesting web site (at least from my point of view), about gravity and probes. Here's the main web page :
http://einstein.stanford.edu/
and take time to watch the videos here :

Actually, I already was interested in the Gravity Probe B experiment since years, way before I knew about Celestia. I contacted the GP team by email to ask if they could (?) send us a 3ds model of the probe for Celestia (fingers crossed). I'm extremely interested to see their experiment performed into Celestia's space too !
