Loading...
Explore the cosmos in a new way with this elaborately crafted orrery. It brings the planets of our solar system and their motions to life in striking detail, serving as both a decorative centerpiece and an educational tool that demonstrates the mechanics of celestial movement.
The model includes a full set of nine planets, including Pluto, along with 28 moons. A dynamic display shows the Moon tracing its path around Earth while Earth travels around the Sun.
Motion and Scale
- Mercury completes 1,028 orbits around the Sun for every one orbit Pluto completes.
- In the model's mechanism, Mercury's orbit takes about 4 seconds, while Pluto's takes about 4 hours.
Materials and Power
- The Sun, planets, and moons are made from fine semi-precious stone spheres.
- Brass planet versions with stone moons are available by special order.
- The piece runs on batteries unless another option is specified.
Design and Craftsmanship
- A fully exposed mechanism sits beneath the rotating planets, showing detailed solid brass gears in operation.
- A twelve-sided oak barrel houses the gear assembly and rests on twelve solid brass feet.
- An engraved brass calendar and zodiac ring sits atop twelve brass pillars, raising it above the oak barrel.
- A detachable solid brass armillary half-sphere crowns the top of the orrery.
