Heavenly bodies

How does one determine the relative positions of planets of our solar system? Like, is there a website that I can look up that says, “On July 18th, 1992, Jupiter was here and Mars was over there”? Or something that has some starting positions on some known dates?

Like, this site seems to be able to tell me where each of the planets are (in a visual, but not data, way) in a two month window (one month on either side of today). What’s a good reference for something more comprehensive?

Hmmm… this site seems kinda good.

Does it have to be a website? I think an app like Celestia, Stellarium or Sky Safari would do the trick very well. (See my astronomy webpage for more.)
