Saw the signs on the path, great job!

I wanted to pitch in my own fun fact – the reason that Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system is the same reason Hawaii is so long. The movement of tectonic plates push everything along as the volcano spews lava to create new land. Without it, the lava just piles up and up in one spot, like Olympus Mons.

No ETA, but the city has them and have been installing the posts I understand.

Hi there! Parents and students are very excited to see the signs and are wondering when they are planning on being installed? Is there an update or an ETA? Thanks for this engaging project and keeping us up to date!

The orbital period for the Earth is 365.25 days where Mercury is 87.97 days. So for one orbital period for the Earth, Mercury will have gone around the Sun just over 4 times.

Mars (Greek: Ares) is the god of War

The largest volcano in the Solar System is on Mars. It is called Olympus Mons
