Award-winning, nationally recognized astronomer Daniel Fleisch, professor emeritus of physics, is also continuing to present every Sunday at 1 p.m. with the last presentation having two dates at Weaver Observatory, April 6-7. He has installed an accurately scaled model of the solar system on campus and at select locations in the surrounding community. More on Fleisch's solar system project and presentations can be found here.
A display of the solar system is also up in Thomas Library, along with items from archives about Neil Armstrong receiving an honorary degree from Witt in 1969. A selection of books on planets, the solar system, and space for anyone who would like to explore the cosmos from their armchair is also available at the library. See photo gallery below.
