Hey guys:
About 7-8 years ago, I came across an image somewhere on the net that was a scale picture of the solar system. Basically, the image started with a piece of the sun, then included scale images of the 9 planets set at their average distances from the sun. Given that Pluto is about 40 times further from the sun than Earth, this image was very very very wide. I don't remember it being any more than 3-400 pixels high, if that.
Since the recent hoopla over Pluto, I've been trying to find it again, with no luck.
Did any of you ever see this picture or know where I might still find it?
Thanks,
Doug

Those aren't the one I remember, but both very neat. Thanks!windshieldbug wrote:There is one you can scroll here,
But I've always liked this comparison of sizes (not distance)
