The University of Maine at Presque Isle has found new ways to highlight the Maine Solar system Model . NewsSource8′s Brian Bouchard has more.
"I think we need to remind ourselves, that for as long as there has been humanity, we have been looking at the heavens" says Dr. Kevin McCartney – Founder, Maine Solar System Model
A Proposed Clockwork Solar System Made out of LEGO - Universe Today
One of the best innovations Lego has had in the last decade is leveraging the power of the internet to help choose what kits to create. Innovative designers can buy piece parts, make their own masterpieces, carefully document how to recreate them, and then lobby Lego to release them at a kit.
UMPI is using state tourism grant to draw more visitors to famous Solar System Model
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — For nearly 20 years, thousands of people have traveled to Aroostook County for the sole purpose of seeing the largest 3D model of the solar system in the western hemisphere.
Now the Maine Office of Tourism and the University of Maine at Presque Isle are taking steps to draw even more visitors to the Maine Solar System Model, which stretches 100 miles from the Sun on the UMPI campus to the Eris dwarf planet in Topsfield.
The Future of Solar System Modeling and Potential to Identify New Bodies - USC Viterbi | School
Ryan Park , adjunct associate professor of astronautics practice in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, was recently appointed as Vice President of the X2 – Cross-Division A-F Commission Solar System Ephemerides.
Below is a Q&A on its importance and the future of advancements in understanding the positioning and trajectories of various objects in space.

Scientists Manage to Study Weather on Planet in Different Solar System
Thanks to a combination of observations from both terrestrial and orbital telescopes, a team of scientists got their closest look yet at the distant exoplanet WASP-127b.
Not only were scientists able to determine the chemical composition of the exoplanet's atmosphere, but they even managed to study its clouds at an unprecedented level of detail, according to research presented at the ongoing Europlanet Science Congress 2021 by University of Montreal researcher
Transform your room into a miniature planetarium with this $150 solar system lamp set | Boing
For as long as humans have existed, the cosmos has fascinated us. The endless sea of stars has birthed countless stories that have inspired and enthralled us for ages. After all, how could something so vast and unknown not spark some creativity?
The Original 8-Planet Color Lamp Set is designed for those who are not only captivated by space and its stories but who also want to be a part of it.
Did Earth's nearby stellar remnants create our solar system?- Big Think
The corpses of these prior generations — white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes — still litter the galaxy today.
But do the ones we find nearby have anything to do with us? We have yet to reach a definitive conclusion.
Does that mean, then, that when we find these stellar remnants nearby, we’re potentially seeing our cosmic parents, grandparents, and other ancestors? It’s a fascinating possibility that Miguel Ramirez wants to know about, writing in to ask:
Ancient impact that formed Earth's moon was likely a one-two punch | Space
But there are some problems with the canonical collision scenario, which invokes a single catastrophic event, the authors of the new study said.
"The standard model for the moon requires a very slow collision, relatively speaking, and it creates a moon that is composed mostly of the impacting planet, not the proto-Earth, which is a major problem since the moon has an isotopic chemistry almost identical to Earth," lead author Erik Asphaug,
Monster comet falling toward the sun is bigger than a Martian moon - CNET
The comet is cataloged as Comet C/2014 UN271 but is also known as Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein for its discovery duo, Pedro Bernardinelli and Gary Bernstein, both from the University of Pennsylvania.
Astronomer Will Gater pulled together a bunch of illustrations of other notable solar system objects to provide some scale for just how big this super space snowball truly is.
