I'd always fancied having an orrery, and five years ago I made one from a kit. This picture from my Flickr albums shows the newly completed model. It only has the Earth and inner planets, and the sun is illuminated from inside. The paper and cardboard kit is made by AstroMedia. I had a bit of fun trying to paint a realistic looking Earth.

Sozusagen eine digitale Sonnenuhr… ツ

Diese Sonnenuhr ist genau nach Norden ausgerichtet, wenn beide Gnomon (Schattenzeiger) auf die selbe Uhrzeit zeigen.
