Orbital Harmonics is an interactive astronomical geometry visualizer that renders the spirograph-like patterns formed by drawing lines between bodies in orbital motion around a central star. The mathematics behind these patterns — most famously the five-petaled rose traced by Venus and Earth over eight years — reveal a hidden elegance in planetary motion that has fascinated astronomers and mathematicians for centuries.
