What would be its proportions if we could reduce the Sun to the size of the Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic (1.4 million km to 14 m) ?
Compressed 100 million times, our planetary neighbourhood would spread out across the whole region!Comprimé 100 millions de fois, notre voisinage planétaire se déploierait à l’échelle de toute la région!
While exploring the Dark Sky Reserve and the Summit Drive, you can discover 8 planets and 2 dwarf planets. Five of these celestial bodies are on the Parc national du Mont-Mégantic territory, in Notre-Dame-des-Bois, and the other five are distributed among the municipalities of the region: La Patrie, Piopolis, Lac-Mégantic, Lambton and Sherbrooke!
The closest star? At this scale, would be farther than the Moon!
