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

That is, until you figure out where all the NEO's are. :)
