Blista helps with the Construction of further Planetary Learning Paths for the Blind and Seeing.

In Kriftel in 1998, a Weingarten School under the supervision of teacher Günter Hoffmann from the Astronomie-AG built a similar Planetary Learning Path (www.planetenweg.de). The Deutsche Blindenstudienanstalt e.V. Marburg delivered the bronze tablets for the project as well as supporting this project in advise and action.

Completely newly designed bronze tablets were provided by the Deutsche Blindenstudienanstalt e.V. Marburg for the blind engineer Volker König, who created a Planetary Learning Path in Wedel (near Hamburg), which was opened to the public on the 29^th of August 2001. The rings of Saturn were completely portrayed, Uranus and Neptune received their ring systems, and Pluto received its neighbor Charon.

The model sun of the „Lange Eugen on the shore promenade in Bonn has been shining since September 15th, 2002. Till habel-Thomé, a teacher at the Bonn's Bertold Brecht School has created this one-of-a-kind learning path with its 10th grade in two years of work. http://www.planetenlehrpfad-bonn.de

Due to the substantial participation of Marcel Schneider, a collegue at the Museum of Natural History in Luxembourg, the first planetary learning path was constructed on April 30th, 2003 in Schifflingen, Luxembourg. It is located on the plateau directly above the former iron mine, which was last used 50 years ago. The artist created the model sun from steel plates, resting upon an old mining car.

Michael Fleischmann, the director of Astronomie-AG (Astronomie, Inc.) at the Hermann Saudinger High School in Erlenbach, created the Lower Main Planetary Learning Path with the help of his 11th grade students. On the opening day, the 24th June 2003, the model sun with its gold plated surface shone brightly in the light of our mother star. The bronze plates of Marburg's Institute for the Blind were chizzled into sandstone blocks, which originated from the immediate vicinity.
