Mr. Goodyear and the astronomy club created a scale model of the solar system in chalk along the sidewalk in front of Huron. The sun was chosen to have diameter of 30cm and located near the driveway. Jupiter was located near the end of the sidewalk by big tree.

About 50 Huron people, a mixture of kids and their parents, visited the Astronomy and Physics buildings at the University of Toronto. We had a tour of their planetarium and visited their telescopes on top of Burton Tower. We saw the craters on the moon and Jupiter. The Astronomy Club is grateful to the Parent Council for contributing funds to make this a free event for us.
