- This Copernicus Planetarium is the world’s first mechanical planet model as a cardboard kit.
- It shows the movements of the inner planets Mercury and Venus, as well as the moon and earth, rotating around its oblique and always equal aligned axis.
- A crank turn on gears made of rubber belts and grooved wheels corresponds to the course of a week and evokes six different simultaneous movements that are in the approximate ratio of the actual cycle times. Many heavenly processes can be explained from the Copernican (heliocentric) point of view, e.g. the migration of the sun through the zodiac or the conjunctions of Mercury and Venus with each other and with the sun.
