The planets are displayed in a scale corresponding to the first image, which is that of the sun. Unlike most solar system visualizations or models, the planets are shown at their true-to-scale average distances from the Sun. That makes the resulting web page rather large: on an ordinary 72 dpi monitor it is just over half a mile wide (~800m), making it possibly one of the &#8220;largest&#8221; pages on the web. As a consequence, visitors must scroll a considerable amount in order to find the planets, which is part of the fun.<\/p>\n<p>Strongly reminds me of <a href=\"http:\/\/infosthetics.com\/archives\/2006\/07\/population_one_infographic.html\">World Population One<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/infosthetics.com\/archives\/2006\/07\/hydrogen_atom_pixel_model.html\">Hydrogen Atom Pixel Model<\/a>.
