The Galaxy Garden

What do you make of these?

 Welcome to The Galaxy Garden.

Galaxy Garden Tour.


These are images of the "Galaxy Garden", a project by artist Jon Lomberg in Kona, Hawaii. It's a garden designed to provide a scale model of the Milky Way, including the black hole at the center of the galaxy (modeled by a fountain).  At this scale, our local solar system is much smaller than a single dot on a leaf.  Weird?  Goofy?  Kinda fun?
