Orrery Explorer

Compared to main branch, this version:

Changes display to Pico Explorer base at 240x240 instead of 240x135

Enlarges Orrery to fill larger display

Spaces planets' orbits to more realistcally simulate positions (toggle view by pressing X and Y together)

Adds depiction of Asteroid Belt

Removes bouncing Pluto that no longer has a space

Move text to not overlap enlarged Orrery display

Takes out Backlight as it's not adjustable

Takes out RGB as there is no RGBled on the board

adds comments throughout as I reverse-engineered the programming

@dr-mod - for your consideration !

Note this is an alternate functional version of main.py - I have NOT attempted to make a single program that works with different displays. If accepted, it needs to be given a different filename to be able to use it as an alternative.

So original author's main.py is not overwritten
Unedited original author's version
