We love this! Dirleton Solar Walk is a scale model of the solar system installed on a section of @JohnMuirWay.
Discover the planets and learn about the night sky as you walk, cycle or wheel between Dirleton village & Archerfield Walled Garden.

Could be your perfect half-term trip next week.
Discover the planets and learn about the night sky as you walk through beautiful East Lothian with this new walkable and wheelable scale model of our Solar System at Dirleton Solar Walk.

I think comet C/2023 A3 is starting to appear on the SOHO LASCO C3 images now. Just appearing on the right hand edge ☄️

Well done for getting it all working. Delighted to be part of this.
Absolutely delighted that @wickhigh is now part of the Global Meteor Network through the outreach project and the Astronomical Society of Edinburgh. Can't wait to get involved 🌠
Come down to the @RoyalObs Open Day and observe the Sun safely with us. ☀️🔭
