Astronomiepark Ingolstadt (Astronomy Park)

Built in 1998, the Astronomy Park illustrates the size of our solar system. At its centre is an equatorial ball-and-ring sundial serving dual functions. For one, it is an astronomical chronometer that tells true local time, seasonal changes and the noon hour of earth’s major cities. For the other, it represents the size of our sun in a scale of 1:10 ⁰⁹ metres (= 1.39 metres).
