"Simplistic Brilliance: The Ceiling-Mounted Orrery Redefines Elegance"

A maker named Illusionmanager has created a ceiling-mounted orrery, a mechanical model of the Solar System, using a simple mechanism. The planets can freely move along their orbit's axis, except for Mercury, which is moved by a hidden motor inside the Sun. The positions of the planets are updated once a day at midnight using an ESP32 connected to the internet. The planet models are hung from thin aluminum tubes attached to wooden mounts. This design offers a simpler alternative to traditional orreries with complex gear systems.
