solar system to scale

[domstar]

Hi everyone, I just came across this http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

It shows the solar system to scale with both size and distance. I thought it was fun.

LoL .... I don't think I have enough scrolls in me  It is a clever way to bring it on home.

Got a feeling this has been posted before, but still a great reminder that space is big, really big

There is a similar idea created as an animated video from the perspective of traveling outwards thru the Solar System from the Sun; cannot recall what speed the flight was/is but it was pretty slow, the animation ceases at Jupiter on  the basis that viewers will have got bored by then.

Excellent, definitely one of the better attempts at giving you a direct feeling of the size of things.
