Planets ahoy’
Ever since my nephew learned how to pick up a book, his learning curve is off the charts. His latest fling is the rotation of planets in our solar system. Time to show him the Eise Eisinga planetarium in Franeker. This home made planetarium (literally, it hangs in the guy’ s living room) dating 1781 is so accurate that today the position of the then known planets is still in alignment with the astronomical reality.
On this great site you can check what the current position of the planets is, and what their’s will be in a couple of days. Call it a solar system’s webcam.
