Akaa Solar System Scale Model

The Sun is located at the school campus of Toijalan Yhteiskoulu in Toijala district.

Akaa Solar System Scale Model was built in 2017 by amateur astronomer Kari-Pekka Arola.

The current location (140 AU) of the Voyager 1 spacecraft in relation to the Solar System is also presented in the scale model (as the most distant man-made spacecraft) and the concrete pillar representing its location is at the center of the neighbouring town Viiala, approximately 7 km away from the Sun.

This ground distance takes it in the middle of Australia and near the famous Ayers Rock / Uluru.
