I actually wrote a simple one a while ago that I use for troubleshooting some people's DesktopX problems:

i dont know where your going to find a DesktopX script ready made for this. I would do some VBScript or Javascript searches and see what is out there.. DX uses both of these languages.

RomanDA is suggesting you go out and find some.
Or find something similar and adjust it.
Trying . . and asking for specific help when you get stuck . . will serve you well in the long run.

There are a lot of tutorials and a lot of vb scripts/java scripts out there.. try using this little known thing called GOOGLE.. it can show you results from all over the world.
If you look above people have given you links to things for DX to do object.rotation.
If you want something to rotate around another object, you could make a transparent circle that is the diameter of the circle you want to rotate around, then place the planet or whatever at the outside edge of this object and make it a "child" of the first circle.
There are plenty of tutorials on how to do all of this.
As for the "random" motion, i would suggest you do a google search on VBSCRTPT RANDOM
and see what it shows you.
As for Planatry Motion, i would suggest a google search on that as well, as i dont think anyone here has made a planet model.

Did a tut which involved random movement here: LINK
The relevant block of code (modified):
Sub object_ontimer1
'Get random numbers for object position
Randomize
min = 1
max = system.screenwidth - object.width
randomnum = Int((max-min+1)*Rnd+min)
min2 = 1
max2 = system.screenheight - object.height
randomnum2 = Int((max2-min2+1)*Rnd+min2)
object.move randomnum, randomnum2
End Sub
Agreed. If you want something to go around in a circle, it's probably best to make a large image with the object on one end, and then just rotate the image like in this tutorial: LINK
Actually moving something in a circular motion, I would think, requires some complicated algorithm.

hemanherecomes: I've created a dxpack with some rotation and random movement. Hopefully this is what you were looking for:
