Ravensburger 500 Piece Solar System Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults

Learning about how the universe works is always easier with visual aids, from medieval astronomical clocks to modern orreries in gold. In the past, scientists thought the Earth was at the center of our solar system, but by 1514 Copernicus changed the perspective by placing the Sun at the center. The first mechanical model of the solar system, known as an orrery, was created in the early 1700s and named after its patron, the Earl of Orrery. It is a perfect puzzle for space and astronomy enthusiasts!

An orrery depicts the planets as seen from outside the solar system in a scale model of their periods of revolution, although the sizes and distances are not accurate. Typically operated by a clockwork mechanism, an orrery has a globe representing the Sun at the center with planets at the end of each arm. Clockmaker George Graham is recognized for creating the first orrery that could demonstrate the motion of the planets around the Sun.
