COPERNICAN ROOM SHOWING
SOLAR SYSTEM
Animated model of the solar system showing
the sun in the center, and six of the nine known
planets revolving around it. The planets also
rotate on their axes as the real planets rotate,
moving always at the correct relative speeds.
Circling the Earth is a smaller globe, the moon,
while Mars has two moons. Jupiter is shown
with four of its eleven moons, and Saturn with
five of its nine. Around the walls are shown the
twelve zodiacal constellations and in the center
of the floor a reproduction of the Aztec Calendar
Stone.
