How do I use Launch Window Planner or Interactive illustrated interplanetary?

[Zappt]

Hello! 

I'm in an 130 km orbit around Eve and my Kerbals want to travel home. But I can't manage to come back because every maneuver node I try to create is far away from Kerbin. 

So i found Launch Window Planner but it says something like:

Departure Year 2, day 130 at 1:31:12
Arrival Year 2, day 334 at 2:18:00
Time of flight 204 days 0:46:48
Phase angle 51.80°
Ejection angle 58° to prograde Ejection inclination 28.00°
Ejection Δv 1,060 m/s
Transfer periapsis 9,382 Mm
Transfer apoapsis 13,376 Mm
Transfer inclination 2.02°
Transfer angle 224°
Insertion inclination -18.84°
Insertion Δv 626 m/s
Total Δv 1,686 m/s


I think there is a language gap because I don't understand how to use these information in the game. 


After that i used "Interactive illustrated interplanetary guide and calculator for KSP" which has at least two pictures. But even with that the closest i could come is like 775.000 kilometers. If i launch at year 2 day 130 like the first tool suggest the planets are at an complete other place like the pictures show in the second tool.

 

Every help is really appreciated! Thx!

Oh, oh, pick me, pick me! I have the perfect link for that.

Because someone else had this exact question a few months ago

(Make sure you click the little info button beside ejection dV to open a window which shows the dV breakdown into prograde and normal/antinormal, that stuff is actually important)

Oh wow ! Thank you for this good and easy explanation! Works like a charm =)
