The Orrery is an awe inspiring 3D screensaver depicting the planets of the solar system. Complete with factual information about each planet, this software is as educational as it is beautiful. The Orrery features two modes. These are the default Space style and a Victorian style brass Orrery, which shows a mechanical model of all of the planets moving on brass rods in an art gallery. The Orrery also features an interactive mode, which allows the user to move manually between planets and to direct their view any way they want.
