I decided use a glowing torus as the centerpiece of the animation. I chose a torus because it is a unique centerpiece, and then added a surface shader to it in order to create the glow effect.

For the objects orbiting the Torus, I chose to randomly create platonic solids and then modified their scaling, rotation, and texture.

All in all, I decided to create two random subgroups of location points. I rotated these groups around the Y and Z axis. I then grouped these sub groups into a group and made that group rotate around the Y axis. Altogether, this creates the effect of seemingly random orbit paths.
