The Helios Project

The mission of The Helios Project is to educate visitors on the vast size and diversity of our universe in an outdoor environment, while imparting a new appreciation for life on our planet Earth.

There is no other exhibit quite like this. While there are other outdoor exhibits with “solar system walks,” this is the first (to our knowledge) that also takes the visitor though our Milky Way galaxy and eventually the ends of the Universe itself.

It is important to follow the changes in scale as you move through the exhibits. The solar system is on one scale, the Milky Way scale is reduced even further, and the Universe is reduced a third time.
