  • Fall 2020 Campus-Wide Solar System Model

    You may have noticed a miniature model of the solar system in front of Au Bon Pain in the Volpe Library.  The sun in that model is serving as the scale model sun in our campus-wide (and further) scale model of the solar system!  Due to restrictions this year, we did not place the scaled planets on campus, but instead, have created a video about where they would be.  Take a break from studying and take a walk around campus to visit the locations presented in the video.  We in Astronomy 1010 hope you enjoy it!
