Solar System Clock

I've been playing around with the 'animate' function of SVG, and realised that I could use it to produce yet another take on dividing a minute up into its factored bits.



This is mostly the same as my SVG-animate-only "Concentric Loops" image, but using Javascript to synchronise the orbits with the current time. When there is a conjunction of two orbits, the orbits line up on a line matching the hour hand of an analogue clock. The colour of the circles represents the minute "hand" using my 360° colour mapping, with red at the top, yellow at the right, green at the bottom, and blue at the left.
