[edit] Picture

This page seems like it could really use a picture to illustrate what an orrery would look like. Does anyone have a picture, especially of one of the orreries mentioned? --Edward Tremel 23:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Currently there is a picture, but not really a clear/good one. Something like this is a lot more illustrative. 66.229.160.94 23:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh?

"Similar tricks can be used to show Pluto and its six-thousand seventeen moons." This sentence seems odd--I was under the impression that pluto had three known moons.
