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.
