Virtual Orrery

 

This Shockwave movie was made for the "Space Exploration" gallery of a museum in Spain. It shows the relative orbits of the planets.

You can zoom the view by selecting the planets by number: "1"=Mercury, "3"=Earth, etc.

The presentation is housed in a stylish self-contained cabinet, with an overhead mirror to project the image onto a table. The exhibits for the "Space Exploration" gallery were designed by Interactive Science Ltd.
