This is from the description:
This page shows a scale model of the solar system, shrunken down to the
point where the Sun, normally more than eight hundred thousand miles
across, is the size you see it here. The planets are shown in
corresponding scale. Unlike most models, which are compressed for
viewing convenience, the planets here are also shown at their
true-to-scale average distances from the Sun. That makes this
page rather large - on an ordinary 72 dpi monitor it's just over half a
mile wide, making it possibly one of the largest pages on the web. This
means you'll have to do a bit of scrolling if you want to find the
planets, but don't despair. They are reasonably bright and labeled, so
you can probably catch them flashing by in the blackness even if you are
scrolling fairly fast.
Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the link to find all the planets.....

I see Saturn
ReplyDeleteI see Mars
I see nothing else
With those fool scroll bars
The size of some of the things we know about is amazing. Watch this short clip, it's pretty wild.
