Satellite (and other) Ephemerides

Satellite Ephemerides, graphical and text-based, for the Jupiter system and other giant planets, by Mark Showalter. Extremely useful and well implemented!

There's also JPL's ephemeris service, Horizons. Horizons doesn't do plotting, but one nice thing that it does is to search for times when specified criteria are met -- e.g. you can require that Io be just leaving eclipse, at night, and at least 15 degrees above the horizon.

Bureau des Longitudes, France: Their site includes planetary and satellite ephemerides, and an interactive site giving 1997 mutual event geometries.
