World’s largest model solar system

Algebra I 1 Minute

I think this is really cool: the Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University (Sweden) have devised the world’s largest model solar system, at a scale of 1:20,000,000. The inner planets are in the vicinity of Stockholm, while the outer planets, dwarf planets, and distant objects are spread throughout the country.
