If The Moon Were Only 1 Pixel
A tediously accurate scale map of the solar system that illustrates the mind-boggling amount of space between planets.
After Josh Worth created this visualisation as part of a personal project, it's been posted on hundreds of websites, was featured in museum exhibits, used as a teaching tool by science educators, and translated into 16 languages.
This puts into perspective how mind-bogglingly huge space is. Every pixel on the website represents an object the size of the moon 🌔.
Scroll through it yourself, or travel at the painfully slow speed of light - either is certain to surprise you.
The site was awarded the 2014 Webby Award for science websites.
