Been a while since I watched that movie. I think you're talking about an orrery.

Knowing the name of the device you should be able to track one down for sale.
This guy here apparently makes hand made ones. I expect they're a little pricey.

Wikipedia article on Pitch Black just describe it as a "moving model of the solar system they are in". That descriptioon fits what an orrey is. so, first poster has a best answer.
