телур
A mechanically operated model showing the revolution of the Earth around the sun, and of the moon around the Earth. An early example by Thomas Tompion and George Graham c. 1705 immediately preceded the famous orrery by John Rowley, which was itself a tellurium, the wood 'orrery' being now generally applied to later instruments showing the motions of the planets.
