Introduction
The University of Maine-Presque Isle has developed a solar system model for a nearly one-hundred-mile stretch of Route 1 along the Canadian border showcasing the relative distances of the planets to the sun, scaled down from the true distances by far more than one million.
Solar System Model, Neptune to the Sun
- Neptune: Town of Littleton
- Uranus: Town of Bridgewater (the driver will pass through the Town of Monticello between the aforementioned towns)
- Saturn: Town of Westfield (following Blaine and Mars Hill)
Starting with Jupiter, the remainder of the solar system model by UMaine-Presque Isle is associated with the city proper of Presque Isle, Maine.
