Portal Orrery (Solar System), Chun-Li's Revenge, Jessie Michaels, Ayn Rand Book Art

The planets in this giant, futuristic orrery all have realistic relative scales and realistic textures. They all have proper axial tilts relative to each other and to the ecliptic. The in-game scale functions for the planet sizes and orbit sizes are shown in the video. They all revolve and rotate at the same proportional rates as in real life.
For practical reasons, I had to approximate orbits as circular and coplanar. Making true elliptical orbits would have been unworkably complex. Sadly, I also had to leave out Pluto. (Doing its orbit justice would have been impractical.) A caution to headphone users: There are some moments of loud audio.



Here's a very funny set of GIFs featuring a trouble-making Chun-Li:

Future star alert: Here's the currently 14-year-old Jesse Michaels singing a cover of "I Will Always Love You":


Here she is at 13 singing the national anthem at a Red Sox game:
