SpaceX. Radio_broadcasts.jpg (2795×2795) WIKISKY.ORG. How Far Away is the Sun? Another Visualization. - Brad BlogSpeed. Alright, this one’s a doozy.
After the reasonable popularity of last week’s scale picture that illustrated the distance between the Earth and the Moon, I just had to take things to the next logical level. Today I’ve reduced the scale, and increased the image size dramatically, to represent one astronomical unit (AU), or the distance between the earth and the Sun.* So allow me to just say ahead of time that I apologize if this post breaks anyone’s computer.
