A digital orrery based on the Antikythera Mechanism, but modernized
Ship #1
I made a digital orrery that shows the planet’s movements over time. While it isn’t accurate to our timeline, it’s a good way to visualize the scale of our solar system by showing the speed at which they moved. What gave me a rough time was the drawing of the elements onto the canvas itself, I’m not much of a front-end person. I’m proud of how accurate I’ve [hopefully] managed to make it on the simulation scale, I researched actual ephemerides and eccentricities for this project. To test it out, navigate to the demo of this project, or visit https://niksgraves.github.io/aethelclock and just start turning the cyan wheel by the yellow handle, each revolution is 30 days.
