Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupetier, Saturn,

—and the moon on the Welcome Plaza? —

Can you find symbols for the sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the moon on the Welcome Plaza?

They are embedded into the stone beneath your feet, in their positions at sunset on the museum's birth date: November 28, 1989. The North Star sits at the center of the Plaza. The planets' paths across the sky on this date begin on the eastern side of the Plaza and follow an arc to the west, marking their points of rise and set. For the best view, visit the museum's Resource Center on the third floor!
