Hi all: we've been asked to identify some vendors who are capable of
producing scaled models of the planets (and poor little pluto :( )
If you have any suggestions, let me know!  Or if you have any seen any
great installations... We are talking about a 'sun' with up to a 30'
diamenter.

I did look at the archives, but didn't find too much except one
reference from 2008...

And yes: if we don't use a non-linear scale for size, we'll certainly
have to use one for distance!

Thanks,

Jeff C.
