Students Calculate Sun Angles For Babe Ruth Statue

A group of people standing in front of a building and a Babe Ruth statue.Students in Dr. George Maxey’s Geology class attended the unveiling of the Babe Ruth Statue at Majestic Park this week.

Maxey and his students worked with Majestic Park and the City Cultural Affairs Manager for Hot Springs to assist with the placement of the statue last semester. They calculated the sun angles that would fall on the statue throughout the baseball season to help determine the best location for the statue.

Participating students included Myles C. Anderson, Rose Baghestani, Jeremiah Brown, Jacob A. Claborn, Silas Cowgill, Jack Hackney, Zachary R. Hardcastle, Ayden T. Heard, Sophia R. Howell, Braden Knight, Jaden Lewis, Jeff Looper, Skyler Messmann, Kylie Schroeder, Brant M. Stevens, Brianca Y. Thomas and Jacob Weems.
