2025 02 07 Solar System 1
People hold scaled planet cards, making a step-scale model of the universe on Berths 1 and 2 on Friday. The inflated planets are just for show. Three homeschooled families and supporters mapped out the solar system from the Sun to the dwarf planet Pluto in the Kuiper belt using a scale factor of 1/10,000,000,000. When mapped onto the Berths, the Sun is at the end of Berth 1 and Pluto is near the Rock statue 591 steps from the Sun. Staff photo by Christopher Mullen
