Tripping the Planets
I need to take everyone on a sublimely beautiful and terrifying trip through the Solar System.

Like other animals, we derive most of our sensory information from our eyes, our sense of space. We are all aware of the Solar System model where the Sun is a basketball at one end of a football field and the Earth is blah blah blah. But we experience life as a passage of time, of events linked by causality.

There is a website that takes us on that trip, not through space as basketballs and golf balls, but a long perfectly tedious trip through time. No. Not time travel; just through the passage of time.

https://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

Take the trip, use the power of the RAID (Right Arrowkey Interplanetary Drive). Don't cheat and use your mouse or the NextAnchor points provided at the top of the Main View Screen.

Your appreciation for the true vastness of space will never be the same, but only if you make it to Pluto.

I was passing Uranus when I though I'd send this signal back to Earth.

Enjoy, and see you on Pluto!
