  Join Tom Carey, Astronomy Professor at Suffolk County Community College, on an exercise to find out just how big our solar system is with a 1000-yard walk of the Sagamore Hill grounds. One of the first observations from this walk participants will learn is that the Earth is roughly 25 paces from the Sun in the 1000-yard walk model.
