The core idea to this challenge is to build a scale model of the solar system in Reno. This will involve at least some sort of software application.
The originating idea of this challenge was the size of the Flieschman Planetarium Dome, which is just under 10 meters and is painted to look like the Sun. At this scale, the Earth is approximately 3.5 inches in diameter and is .65 miles from the planetarium. More details (and exact numbers) on the scale can found on the scaling project.
