Brass Tower Orrery with Full Armillary Sphere

Our Tower Orrery model is entirely and uniquely designed by Science Art. The orrery features a full brass armillary sphere surrounding the planets and Sun.

The Tower Orrery depicts correct relational speeds of all 9 planets, plus the compound relative orbital movement of Earth's moon. The Sun, 9 planets and 28 moons are made of beautiful semi-precious stone spheres (or choose brass and hematite planets with stone moons for a "classical" orrery). New design includes a full brass armillary sphere that surrounds the solar system planets and Sun, with a brass engraved calendar ring that depicts the days of the year and the houses of the zodiac on the plane of the ecliptic.
The natural variations of stone and wood ensure a unique work of art. Each unit is handcrafted from raw materials with an attention to detail and dedication to quality.
Available as a hand crank or battery-operated model with planet and wood base options, each orrery includes the following specific features: 

-- Assembly takes mere minutes. Owner's manual included.
-- Twelve-sided solid oak or walnut base.
-- Clockwork mechanism of solid brass gears.
-- An engraved calendar/zodiacal brass ring gracefully divides the upper and lower sections of a full brass armillary sphere. 
-- Height is 20 inches. Length and Width is 18" x 18"
