# This tutorial is intended as a initial panda scripting lesson going over
# display initialization, loading models, placing objects, and the scene graph.
#
# Step 4: In this step, we will load the rest of the planets up to Mars.
# In addition to loading them, we will organize how the planets are grouped
# hierarchically in the scene. This will help us rotate them in the next step
# to give a rough simulation of the solar system.  You can see them move by
# running step_5_complete_solar_system.py.
