I added a new item to the Object Collection.
http://lib.povray.org/searchcollection/index2.php?objectName=SolarSystemOrrery&version=1.0&contributorTag=SharkD
A model of the solar system. Includes all eight planets. Can be animated
by setting the Orrery_StopDate parameter to the clock. I would like to
add Pluto and Ceres as well, but I could not find all the necessary data
for them.

Neat!

What? This is size-ism!

Size matters.
The data I have for Pluto is
// Pluto discovered by Clyde Tombaugh February 18, 1930
#declare PlutoRad = 1189.9*KM*I; // (ER*0.18)*Miles*I; // Pluto Radius [1150
KM]
#declare PlutoRot = -360*(OC/6.387230); // Pluto Rotation: -360 deg every 6.38
days [retrograde rotation] [-6.39]
#declare PlutoTilt = 122.53; // Pluto tilt to orbital plane
#declare PlutoDist = SunRad+(5913520000*KM)*Scale; //SunRad+(EarthDist*39.44);
// Pluto distance from Sun
#declare PlutoSemiMaj = 5906.38*GM*Scale; // [1] Pluto semimajor Axis
#declare PlutoEpoch = J2000; // [2] Pluto Epoch
#declare PlutoRev = 360*(Clock/248.00); // Pluto Revolution: 360 deg every
248.00 years (90560 days)(orbital period)
#declare PlutoIncl = 17.16; // [4] Pluto orbital inclination to Earth
orbital plane
#declare PlutoEccen = 0.2488; // [3] Pluto orbital Eccentricity
#declare PlutoArgPeri = 113.834; // [5] Pluto Argument of Perihelion
#declare PlutoLongAsc = 110.299; // [6] Pluto Longitude of Ascending Node
#declare PlutoPrecA = 0; // Pluto Axial precession ?
#declare PlutoPrecO = 0; // Pluto Orbital precession ?
#declare PlutoMat = material {texture {pigment {Gray90} normal {bumps scale
0.00001} finish {diffuse 0.55}}}
// 5 satellites
I have nothing (yet) for Ceres.
(But I'm only 1300 lines of code into it...)

I will take a look at those, thanks. As soon as I can find the bugs in
my code that is. :(

What I find strange about Ceres is its orbital period around the Sun-- 4,999
years. The table of orbital periods given there shows that all the planets (and
Pluto) naturally orbit slower the farther away they are from the Sun-- with
Ceres being *by far* the slowest; but it's Sun-distance is *closer* than either
Pluto or Jupiter. It should be rotating faster than Jupiter, but isn't. Maybe
it's caught in some kind of gravitational tug-of-war with Jupiter and the Sun?
Interesting!

Oops-- that's 4.99 years (off by only 10 to the third power!!) My eyes played
tricks on me.
But's that's still quite strange, given its relative distance from the sun.

Hmm, not so strange after all. It's faster than Jupiter, which makes sense.
Never mind. ;-)

Yes, of course; that's inevitable.

Is it not?
The table linked to specifies 11.8 yrs for Jupiter, as compared to 4.599
for Ceres. That makes it faster (in terms of angular speed) than Jupiter.
(It's also faster in terms of km/s; again, inevitable.)

I just realized I have a copy of "fbruder_kepler.inc" which does all I
wanted, plus more. Sigh.
