In the communal green area of Waterside Meadows off the A89 in Broxburn, you can find the sculpture representing the asteroid, Thule 279. A main belt asteroid, Thule 279 is located in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Since Thule is microscopic within the scale of this solar system, a sandstone seated area was created with text carved text into it from The Georgics by Virgil. |
