A scale model of the solar system set across the Observatory grounds on College Hill — great for wide vistas, leading lines formed by planetary markers and juxtapositions of scientific instruments against rolling Armagh countryside. Best at golden hour for warm light and long shadows; clear nights offer stars with the illuminated domes. Grounds are generally open but check Observatory events; parking nearby on College Hill or town. Expect uneven paths and some steps—weather can be windy.
