Or… using gravitational constants, python classes, and math, you can accurately model the Planets and their orbital transition over the course of an Earth year, and animate through a Periodic run method. _(Pushed the Geometry Scaling a bit with astronomical units 😅)_ ☄_The Orbital Package - Coming soon-ish_ ![gVJqdXRCpT](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/9/e93e9c55017b403d6b3203e132775d44760a3f68.gif) ---

Here’s my pointless contribution I did a while back… Leap motion hand tracking in dynamo… [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/7/d7f98ccc1978298e0a0faa3f700e26f00bb6cb80.jpeg "Hands on approach to Dynamo LeapMotion") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuhILm3NCj0) Thought it could be cool for manipulating stuff in dynamo using hand gestures. I was able to create geometry (surfaces and primitive solids) based on a combination of gestures, but then got distracted by something else I guess, something of a trend for me! 😅 ---

No package, I used the Leap Motion SDK in a ZT node.
