I can't believe that I'm the first person to "like" this video. The description gives the link to the actual simulation, which I found out about through the listserv for the science-teachers' website modelinginstruction.org/. Here are some comments from the person who posted it to said listserv: _This is fascinating, well worth a couple minutes to play with. There are shortcut symbols at the top of the screen to jump to a specific planet but you can also scroll with the left and right arrow keys (which gives you a much better feel for the distances involved). Don't scroll too fast, because you would bypass a lot of the commentary , which is both interesting and relevant!_

It's been along time since I shared this. How unfortunate that it isn't better-known. Be sure to use the link given in the video's description.

I found it fascinating to see how big the Milky Way Galaxy really is. I scrolled with the Left key all the way & back with the Right (without using the scroll bar at the bottom. It's Shocking that Uranus is closer to the Sun than closer to Pluto. The biggest gap between 2 planets are Uranus & Neptune 1.7 Billion km. It's really cool how Uranus & Pluto are the same distance apart from Neptune (1.4 Billion km).

you realise that it's just about our own solar system right? the milky way is made of several billions of other solar systems orbiting around a central black hole (sagittarius A)

Popescu Kevin Maybe I should have worded the comment better. If that is ONLY our Solar System imagine all the others we haven't even discovered yet.

HBKanedge818 ah, then,yesss! It's mind blowing!

[@stargateoracle]

whats even more mind blowing is thats less than half of our solar system. it misses most of kuiper and doesnt go anywhere near the Oort cloud. also thats only going in one direction from our sun. it extends the same dstance in the opposite (and every other) direction aswell!!!!!

Not even a special thing(Just distances)
