Energy Storage Program
Energy storage is essential to a resilient grid and clean energy system. Learn about the types of energy storage, available incentives, and more.
The planets are made of stainless steel and are of different sizes on the same scale as The Grounded Sun. As a result, Zagreb got its own replica of the solar system shown on a greatly reduced scale. The distance between the Sun and the planet installations is correlated to the distance between planets and the Sun in our solar system.
The Grounded Sun is situated in the center of Zagreb, and Nine Views consists of planets scattered around the city. What is most fascinating about these installations is that the sun and planets were sculpted and positioned in relation to each other to scale, matching the solar system.
Turn onto Ulica Franje Petrića, walk 20 meters, and you'll see The Grounded Sun. Zagreb artist Davor Preis came up with the idea to make an installation Devet pogleda (Nine Views) to complement The Grounded Sun. He designed and made the Nine Views installation in 2004.
Most people who have visited Zagreb have likely seen The Grounded Sun, whether they knew it was a replica of the sun or not since it is large and centrally located. Fewer are familiar with the locations of the other planets. To help you find all the planets, we've put together a map with the addresses of all installations.
