We present simple models of trajectories in space, both in 2D and in 3D. The first examples, which model bicircular moves in the same direction, are classical curves (epicycloids, etc.). Then, we explore bicircular moves in reverse direction and tricircular moves in 2D and 3D, to explore complex visualisations of extraplanetary movements. These moves are studied in a plane setting. Then, adding increasing complexity, we explore them in a non planar setting (which is a closer model of the real situation). The exploration is followed by using these approaches for creating mathematical art in 2D and 3D printed objects, providing new ways of mathematical representations. Students' activities are organized around this exploration.
