Using this tool I am able to retrieve information to model the planets' 
orbits. But what about the rotation of the planets? It gives information 
about rotational speed as well as obliquity WRT the xy plane, but AFAIK 
doesn't give the necessary information the direction of the obliquity, 
or the side of the planet that is facing the "front" at the given epoch.

Did I miss something? Where can I dig up this info?
