Greeting all,
I've been lurking here for years and finally decided that I'd built
something worth sharing:
http://homepage.mac.com/aklego
This orrery was made to demonstrate why daylight varries so much here in
Alaska. The
inclination of the earth's axis as well rotational directions are
correct--size, distance, and orbit
periods are not.
I've a 9 planet version w/reasonably correct periods in the works but it is
likely to stay there for
some time.
Cheers,
Tom
