What is this and who made this model?Answer: This is a model of the solar system built by Kepler on the basis of the 5 platonic solids. He firmly believed that the universe has a geometric basis and expended prodigious computational efforts to come up with this model only to discard it as new data revealed that the model was flawed. Iam and Hirak got it. Well done.
