    The Vast Emptiness of Space

    I know we have a lot of space aficionados here, so I thought I'd share this link: http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/...larsystem.html

    It uses the size of the moon to represent a single pixel. As you scroll through it, you can see just how far away things are from each other, and just how empty space is. Even though I knew it, it's really mind boggling just how empty it is out there...
