I have read this spans almost a mile but upon actually walking this it seems much shorter than that. The Solar Walk in Gainesville, Florida is a 4 billion to 1 scale model of the solar system by artist Elizabeth Indianos.

Each planet is represented by its own monument.

It is along a busy stretch of road and intersection but easily seen from a park on the opposite corner.

My most favorite roadside attractions involve art.

Spanning nearly a mile, you can see the entire solar system and even a few stars on the Gainesville Solar Walk. Each planet is represented with its own monument designed by artist Elizabeth Indianos - See more at: http://www.visitgainesville.com/attractions/solar-walk/#sthash.1qoYlCTl.dpuf
a 4 billion-to-1 scale model of the solar system that allows viewers to walk among the stars in a nearly mile-long art exhibit that is both visually spectacular and highly informative. - See more at: http://www.visitgainesville.com/articles/outdoor-art/#sthash.YPlBuShs.dpuf
