This Is My Glasgow

A scale model of our solar system set into the tarmac of a path in Maryhill Park in Glasgow. The relative sizes of the planets are indicated by the size of the hole in the centre of each marker, while the distance between them is proportional to the real distances between the planets.

One of the things I love about Glasgow is that people take the time to do things like this, and they make all our lives just a little bit better.

Thanks to Ben Cooper for telling me about the existence of this rather wonderful bit of scientific street art.
