Hey, check out my interactive gravity modeler — it's written in Java so it will run anywhere, it's packed with neat features — and best of all, it's CareWare.

Have some fun: Move the "sun" or a "planet" with your mouse, then run the simulation again.

Gravitation Help/Tutorial

Features:

A powerful, real-time, interactive gravity simulator.
By experimenting, you acquire an intuitive sense of orbital dynamics.
You can choose from pre-programmed scenarios in a drop-down list, or create your own scenarios.
You can change the program's behavior by dragging the "planets" around the screen or by typing in new orbital parameters.
Many program-behavior options are available in the "Setup" submenu.
Very fast mathematical orbit simulation.
Traces orbits with lines or points — creates nice patterns.
Can be run as a "stand-alone" Java application — to maximize display size and efficiency.

Gravitation is available under the CareWare system.

I don't see the Java applets. What's wrong?
