Scrolling through a Solar System Scale Model

solar_system_page.jpg
Solar System Scale Model [phrenopolis.com] shows a scale model of the solar system. 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 “largest” 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.

Strongly reminds me of World Population One and Hydrogen Atom Pixel Model. Via @ datamarket.
