I could probably look it up, but what's the difference between an orrery and an armillary?

It's worth the read, but roughly, the armillary has fewer objects depicted. Just the earth, Sun, and the Moon, usually. I was reading about them the other day because I was looking into Greek and Roman semaphore technology and looked up the dioptra or stenoscope.

I still got an 'about blank' for the Dark Crystal but I took the longer road and found it. There a whole Aughra universe out there I see.
( Wiki and related seem to be making changes which may affect the outworld )
