An orrery is a clockwork model of the solar system. Kepler is a space observatory searching for exoplanets in the region of Cygnus. So far it has done better than expected, finding 1235 possible planets around 997 stars. The Kepler orrery by Daniel Fabrycky is an animation of those newly discovered systems. Follow the link to make the planets spin round.
