Need a break from studying for finals?  The Introduction to Modern Astronomy I (ASTR 1010) class has created a to-scale model of our solar system that fits on campus!  The sun is located in BRUN 243.  From there, walk around campus and locate solar system objects (8 planets, 6 moons, 2 dwarf planets, a comet, and 2 asteroid belts) using the attached map.  There’s some information about extra-solar system objects of interest near BRUN 243.  Objects will be removed by Dec 11.
