While the run of the mill generic online sources show it was post the (supposed) original German film of 1926, this film predates 1926 and is thought to be something closer to 1920. The technique and format are not of mid to late 20s and 1926 was the year of the birth of the "talkie" films.

"Our Heavenly Bodies," was also a good film, in it's own right. C.1926.

Still, extremely rare. Good find.

This is an English-language adaptation of a German Kulturfilm "Wunder der Schöpfung" (1925). See more info at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228425/
The original is available from the Munich Film Museum:

A great silent educational movie, with the latest science from probably circa 1920+, definately before the discovery of Pluto in 1930 by Walt Disney... err maybe it was Clyde Tombaugh. Awesome music and sound effects added contemporarily. Some interesting sets and effects were used. I wish they would have explained how a "powerfull electric motor" was to be utilized to travel between the planets... Probably to turn a REALLY big propeller.
Doing a little research... knock me over with a feather... a dwarf planet, Eris, was discovered in 2005 thought possibly larger than Pluto, now also considered a dwarf planet, along with three others: Ceres, Haumea and Makemake.

That is the end of today's astronomy lesson. Class dismissed!!

If you like these types of old movies, this shouldn't disappoint!
