Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do

You know, I completely forgot about this until dancinastrophys reminded me today....

En route to Caribou last year, I noticed planets along the highway on the way up. They'd been painted and positioned, to scale, along a length of US Highway 1. It's the Maine Solar System Model, the world's largest to-scale 3d solar system model in the world¹ -- 1:93,000,000

That's awesome! My home town had a very small scale version of the solar system in a long stretch along one road. And Boston has one that starts at the Museum of Science and ends about 10 miles out.
