The Sweden Solar System

Spanning from comets in the south to the termination shock zone in the northern part of the country, The Sweden Solar System is a scale model of the solar system that spans the entire country of Sweden, the largest such model in the world.

The Sun is represented by the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, the largest hemispherical building in the world. The inner planets can also be found in Stockholm but the outer planets are situated northward in other cities along the Baltic Sea.

Vote for Place of the Year 2015

Was 2015 the year of Pluto? Or does its exit from the Eurozone make Greece Place of the Year? Now is the time to vote and tell us which place made the most history this year.

In the meantime, reflect on 2014 Place of the Year, Scotland.
