# Kepler Orrery

This is the source code to create the Kepler orrery featured in

[this video (update 5)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td_YeAdygJE) and [update 4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DnDeBa0KFc).

Everything can be run using python assuming the following packages are

installed (most are defaults in every python installation):

* `os`

* `datetime`

* `numpy`

* `matplotlib`

* `glob`

To create the movie or gif from the output series of png files however,

`ffmpeg` must also be installed to run

the `*.sh` files.

All appropriate settings for the movie creation are listed at the top of

`orrery.py` and should be documented.

The movie can be recreated with the default settings by running

`python orrery.py`

`./makeorrery_movie.sh movie/ orrery_movie.mp4 30`
