This remarkable orrery was built by Ken Toonz. I am amazed.
I am posting this today in honor of the blue moon, blood moon, lunar eclipse that I am sure we will not be able to see in Metropark Centralis, because snow.



These are some indirect pictures of the shadow of the moon and the sun reflected through the leaves. This was about the time of the maximum extent of the eclipse here in Cleveland.





Look how Jupiter keeps those asteroids in line . . . and thanks for that.
This was stolen from HMS Defiant and others.

What a terrific project. I know intellectually that we are traveling all the way around the sun every year. I am still stunned when I visualize the actual process – of being 93 million miles away from the sun on a trip that annually covers 584 million miles at a speed of about 67,000 miles per hour.
Thanks Daily Timewaster.
