Orrery is a Three.js-based visualization of the solar system that displays accurate positions of major celestial bodies from 1950 to 2050. Users can play and scrub through time, toggle orbit paths, and explore various visualization options to understand planetary motion and positions across a century of data.

The visualization is powered by NAIF SPICE, an open-source framework containing highly detailed space geometry data. This ensures astronomical accuracy for educational exploration and interactive learning about our solar system's dynamics.
