An orrery is a mechanical device that illustrates the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons in the Solar System in a heliocentric model. Though the Greeks had working planetaria, the first orrery that was a planetarium of the modern era was produced in 1704, and one was presented to the Earl of Orrery whence the name came. They are typically driven by a clockwork mechanism with a globe representing the Sun at the centre, and with a planet at the end of each of the arms.

Congratulations on your sale - this is fantastic. Some people are just born to be artists and you are one of those folks:>). What impresses me is not just your talent at creating your pictures but your mind - it's an orrery all it's own with stories spinning round and round, circling each other, spinning with a gravity all their own inside the central mainframe:>).
