Not funny, but this visualizes our solar system as it orbits the galactic core. Kind of mind blowing:

Do you know where that came from originally? Would be cool to share with my Astronomy class...

Go home, water. You're drunk.

That is awesome.

Holy shit:

No idea, but I would love to learn more myself. I happened to see it on Twitter today.

Did you do that in Universe Sandbox?

See above.

Shouldn't the sun be much larger?

 

[Gibsons]

Shouldn't the sun be much larger?

It's definitely not to scale. Still fun to look at though.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Shouldn't the sun be much larger?

Yes. And also, you shouldn't be able to see any planet past Mercury. Sometimes you just need to skip "to scale" when you're trying to visualize things in space. You know, on account of the inconceivable distances between everything.

The lawyer in me was cringing through that whole video.

That salesman could easily sue them and win. Not that he should. It is just that he totally could.

Can't see video at work. Test drive of a life time implies that he was reckless driving on public roads. If so, hopefully this person dies a horrible death.

It was a closed course so either staged or they temporary closed the roads they were on to do it but they had one car on it to make it look better.

It's Linday Lohan in court. It's been altered a little.

Something about that seems so damn weird.

Mainly because I feel like it represents the Sun's orbit entirely different than it is - but perhaps I always pictured the orbit wrong, because I'm not sure I really ever saw anything about the Sun's orbit of the GC in relation to the orbital plane of its satellites.
