So few months ago I made a video project of a scaled down model of the universe. I did it to help understand the vastness of the universe and put in the next star. To get the next star location I had to spend a fortune in traveling. Just goes to show how vast the universe is.
The scale of the solar system if the sun was the size of a basketball

That is my favorite representation of the scale of the solar system I’ve ever seen. It puts the scale of the solar system into comprehensible sizes. Well done.
They saved money when they did the solar system walk near here by scaling it so Alpha Centauri was right there nearby, you just have to make sure you walk all the way around the Earth before you’re allowed to look at it.
Amazing stuff. The distance to Alpha Centauri really blew my mind
Distance but not planets to scale… interesting choice
