And you made yours to scale, and put in the moons! I gave up before I got that far, kudos to you for Keeping It Real.
Also despite a popular misconception (due to a misreading of a marginalia), Copernicus still used just as many epicycles as his contemporaries. But he did managed to excise one type of epicycle called the "equant" which was seen as un-aesthetic, and that was what convinced many that helicentricism was work looking at.
Ironically, the equant actually resembles Kepler's Third Law.
Look at Earth and Moon spinning like two drunk uncles at the wedding party.
My favorite feature of my Apple Watch, is that I can see the solar system and it has all planets shown where they are in the solar system in real time.
