Makes you realize how tiny and pointless the earth is!

Very clever way to show the varying sizes of objects in the universe.
They've done another one in a similar vein to illustrate the dimensions of the solar system, using a baseball field with the sun being home plate. Pluto ended up over the center field fence . . .

It still has Pluto in it! It is out of date!
Ok, seriously, I'm glad it has Pluto in these models. Even if it is no longer a "planet," it will always be on our minds when we consider our companions around the sun.
Thanks for sharing!

It's really interesting, especially seeing the size difference between Mars and Earth.

That is right. Earth is the biggest terrestial planet and the fifth largest in the solar system.

Impressive. Makes us look pretty puny.
