Located at the
Pima Air & Space Museum and in front of the Dorothy H. Finley Space Gallery is a solar system imbedded into the sidewalk in front of the main entrance. Each planet is represented by a circular brass disk and their respective orbital paths are etched into the pavement. Although each brass planet isn't scaled to size, they have their names inscribed onto their faces for identification.
This solar system is subtle but a nice touch outside the space gallery. There is also another solar system model located inside the space gallery.
