	Orrery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An orrery is a mechanical device that illustrates the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons in the solar system in heliocentric model.
		According to Cicero the Greek Stoic Philosopher Posidonius constructed an orrery, possibly similar or identical to the Antikythera mechanism, which exhibited the diurnal motions of the sun, moon, and the five known planets.
		Orreries are sometimes referred to as planetariums, although generally, planetariums are hemispherical theatres in which images of the night sky are projected onto an overhead surface.

	Roger Boyle, 1st Earl of Orrery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roger Boyle, 1st Earl of Orrery (April 25, 1621 – October 26, 1679), British soldier, statesman and dramatist He was the 3rd surviving son of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork and Richard's second wife, Catherine Fenton.
		Roger Boyle was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and, according to Wood, the orrery, an astronomical instrument--consisting of an apparatus which illustrates the motions of the solar system by means of the revolution of balls moved by wheel-work--invented, or at least constructed, by Graham, was named after the earl, also at Oxford.
		He married Lady Margaret Howard, 3rd daughter of Theophilus, 2nd Earl of Suffolk, whose charms were celebrated by Suckling in his poem "The Bride." By her he had besides five daughters, two sons, of whom the eldest, Roger (1646-1681 or 1682), succeeded as 2nd earl of Orrery.

	Orrery
		An orrery is a mechanical device that illustrates the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons in the solar system.
		They are typically built as a large clockwork with a globe representing the Sun at the center, and with a planet at the end of each of the arms.
		For instance a normal clock could be used to produce an orrery with the Sun in the center and Mercury and Venus on the minute and hour hands.

		An orrery is a moving model of the motions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
		In the image, the orrery is used as an aid for the study of astronomy; learning astronomy is portrayed as a social activity, in which children, as well as adults, can participate.
		Because this grand orrery is calibrated for the Julian calendar, G which was abandoned in favour of the Gregorian calendar G system in 1752, the assumption is that it was manufactured before that date.

		Most orreries show the planets travelling in perfectly circular orbits all in the same plane, when in fact the planets travel in elliptical or oval orbits, in slightly different planes.
		The Orrery was chosen for use as the centre-piece in a young time-traveller's laboratory.
		The most number of moons that the 9-planet orrery should show would be all moons larger than the largest minor planet, the asteroid Ceres, as a proper inclusion of Ceres would require its own gearing.

		The starry background of the Orrery is, in fact, the correct view of the stars as seen from anywhere in the Solar System (the point being that the stars are so far away that zooming in to, or out of, the System has negligible effect on how the stars are seen).

		In his silver armillary sphere and orrery, Rowley presents an ambiguous solution to the problem of representing the Copernican system in a form that will be recognized as a model of the heavens.
		Since the Orrery Collection has a similar sphere by Rowley - larger and made of brass - which is paired with a Ptolemaic sphere, it could be argued that the silver armillary sphere and orrery design is meant to be Copernican, rather than dual-purpose.
		Rowley's armillary sphere and orrery is predominantly made of silver, with brass symbols for the planets and the moon.

	Human Orrery
		An orrery is a mechanical device designed to illustrate the motions of the planets in their orbits about the Sun.
		Although the Human Orrery is primarily a tool to explain astronomy, the questions of distance-scales, time-scales, and the dynamics and spatial interrelationships of solar system bodies lead naturally to issues such as the calendar, seasons, the equation of time, and precession of the equinoxes.
		The Human Orrery and its possible extension provides a further important opportunity for the Observatory to reach out to new audiences, and to explain why our modern world-view is so very different from that considered, for example, by the ancient Greeks or during much of recorded history.
