An orrery
without gears.

Instead of mechanical arms, OrbiKron uses 241 colored LEDs and astronomical calculations to place each planet along its orbit around the sun.

All eight planets: Distinct points of colored light show Mercury through Neptune.
Real-time positions: GPS time and NASA-developed calculations keep the display aligned with the actual Solar System.
Two ways to watch: Real Time follows the present sky; Fast mode reveals planetary motion on a human timescale.
Modern display: A handcrafted illuminated orrery designed for a wall, shelf, or desk.

See the planets where they actually are — not where a static model leaves them.

A living view of the Solar System, recalculated every day.
