Insignificance.

[iscaboy]

A friend of mine asked me about some pictures that he remembered me having some years ago, so I trawled through the archives and dug them out.

They are a set of accurately rendered models of the planets of the solar system etc, all DONE TO SCALE.

Enjoy.

Poor old Pluto, not even regarded as planet any more. Makes you think though.

I used these images when I was teaching. They seemed to put things into perspective for some of my more arrogant students, who thought the world revolved around them

IIRC (can't remember where I heard this) 99% of everything in our solar system is the sun.

Doesn't everything revolve around Tony and Cherie Blair?

Uranus is too big

as you can tell Ive had a hard day and called for a sniff of the barmaids apron
I can resist everything except temptation

Thanks for that. For specialy the first picture showing sun and earth together. Cheers.

Impressive stuff - the camera man didn't get a credit at the end though
