If you take the Road 425 and reach the Reykjanes Geothermal Power Plant in Iceland, you will find in different locations around the plant some pillars surmounted with the different planets of the solar system.
On each one, one can find the planet name and a diagram showing its distance from the sun. The planet is represented by a metallic ball whose diameter reflects the actual size.
This outdoor exposition is part of the HS ORKA "Power Plan(e)t Earth" Exhibition.
