Ryu Wakimoto made wonderfull Orrery with Earth tilt, see: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-9044/sidebook/planet-orrery/#bi I have modified it slightly: removed cover of the stand to show internal gears, added shining Sun and other small changes. And I have made instructions with some details about function and real motion of planet and moon. Orrery was already tested in astronomical learning group for kids at observatory in my city. Kids enjoyed it a lot. A shining Sun is a huge source of learning and fun. Maybe a lot of you have seen orrery by JKBrickworks. This one has a huge improvement: Earth rotation axis is tilted. Therefore following features can be shown using this orrery: Orrery simulates: 1, Sun rotation, 2, Earth orbit, 3, Earth rotation, 4, tilt of Earth axis 5, Moon orbit, 6, Moon rotation. A rotating Sun can be used to show rotation of Sun. A shining Sun can be used to show phases of moon, illumination of Earth during seasons, polar day/night, lunar or solar eclipse. Either motor or hand can be used to rotate orrery. Model deficiencies: Moon eclipse comes every single orbit of moon due to limited size of the model. New moon always cause solar eclipse due to limited size of the model. Sun rotation is independent on latitude. All source files (even for instructions) are at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jsgn7lhblmgi4ja/AADIiNpdXUFmLksekZUZMmIPa?dl=0 You can take a look at this lousy video: Instructions should be mostly OK, but I would be happy if someone other will build it and tell me about problems or caveeats.
