Western Mass Scale Solar System - Saturn Traditional Cache
Alberio: Time to retire this old cache and let someone else hide something in the area. The solar system was a fun series in it's day but time to move on.
Thanks to all that enjoyed it.

Inspired by the scale model solar system at the Museum of Science in Boston, this cache uses the main dome of the Naismith Hall of Fame to be a scale model sun. The planet caches are at the appropriate scale distance.
At the scale with the dome of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame being the sun, 140' = 1 million miles, Saturn would be a 10 1/2 foot ball of gas, located about 23 1/2 miles away from our scale model sun. Saturn's largest moon Titan, largest in the solar system, size of a soccer ball, orbiting Saturn at a scale distance of about 171 feet. Saturn's rings would be about 4 feet wide, but an impossible thin frost that circle's the planet about 4' away.
The cache is a small ammo can, with a log book and the usual trinkets and small goodies.
