The Copernicus Puzzle Box is a moderately difficult puzzle box for space enthusiasts and can be customized to the solver
This puzzle box can be tricky, so this section is for anyone that wants some hints. I would recommend you have a family member or friend read the hints to you, but I did try to order the hints to give the least information at first, and then give more information as you go.
Use your resources. This puzzle is difficult and it is encouraged to use online tools and search engines to get the information that you need.
Copernicus discovered that the planets revolve around the Sun.
The 3rd ring can't rotate
There are 8 rings, one for each planet in our Solar System
The date on the puzzle box is the key, the puzzle solver must find the alignment of the planets on that date.
Finding the alignment of the planets can be tricky. These are the tools that I recommend.
If you can't get the planet alignment right, here is a link to the solution to the puzzle. Each planent needs to be aligned to the correct edge, with the first edge matching the position of the Earth ring and the next edge being counter-clockwise from that.
