Human Orrery Astronomy Experiment
In the Human Orrery, people play the role of the moving planets. The model provides an accurate map of the orbits of the six naked-eye planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn – and shows their motions around the Sun. The exhibit also explores the Solar System beyond Saturn to Pluto, Eris and the most distant, man-made object in space. Join us in an interactive exhibit presented by the class of Astronomy 310 – Exploring the Solar System as part of the Carl Wiemen Science Education Initiative at UBC.
The public session will take place on Wednesday, Oct 12 – 2:00-3:00pm.
