Solar System Scale Model

Oh man, the vastness of space tickles me, I feel a little dizzy.

Edit: I forgot! Great post, thanks.

awesome

awesome page. good thread.

I scrolled as slow as patience would allow but I couldn't find Earth or Mars, should I be worried?

click on the bar instead, it'll scroll a page at a time.

Awesome thread indeed. I don't think I'll ever be able to properly conceive how vast cosmic distances are.

light from the sun takes 328 minutes to reach pluto. it takes 4.2 years to reach the nearest star.

I was going to view the whole thing but stopped at Mercury because it started getting scrold pretty quickly.

that page is awesome

this might also help to put things in perspective, i just stumbled upon it the other day:

scale of the universe

there's some ambient playing on that site and i'm not sure if it can be turned off, but it's a great page

Wow, pretty surprising how far out Neptune and Pluto are compared to the rest of the planets. Saturn is only liker half the distance to Pluto.

What about the Trans-Neptunian region? They didn't even include the Kuiper belt.

yeah fuck them, PSN. Fuck them in their stupid asses.

uh I think it's illustrating how far it is away, cause you know, we measure distance by how long it takes light to travel

I never knew Jupiter was such a big motherfucker

got one of these fuckers tattood on me

yeah im the sun

This is awesome! But the first side scrollin one was dumb, cant even find half the shit. I understand what the point is, but can't see some of the crap.
