Solar System
 |
| The
Sweden Solar System is the world's largest model of our
planetary system, at a scale of 1:20 million. The Sun
is represented by the Globe arena in Stockholm, the largest
spherical building in the world. |
|
The
planets are placed and sized according to scale with the inner
planets being in Stockholm and Jupiter (diameter 7.3 m) at
the International airport Arlanda. The outer planets follow
in the same direction with Saturn in Uppsala and Pluto in
Delsbo, 300 km from the Globe. At each planet station, exhibits
provide information about astronomy and the natural sciences,
and also about related mythology and culture.
Commissioned
in 2004 by the Royal Technical Institute of Sweden, Daniel
Oberti is the first non-Swede to have been chosen to create
original work for this world class astronomical wonder. |
