Local LHC Map

This online tool gives you a sense of scale for large particle accelerators. You can choose to place a ring of the size of the LHC, Tevatron or FCC on a map of your local area. Take screenshots to use in your presentations when you visit other cities, to show the locals how big the LHC would be if built in their neighbourhood.
