the Jovian satellites immediately struck me as wrong; also please forgive me for compiling the following list of what are essentially, nitpicks.) That said, I do actually like the snarky comments interspersing the inherent tedium of accurately depicting the distances between the planets to scale!
Related to Planet formation:Herbig Ae-Be stars nebular hypothesis n. A hypothesis concerning the formation of stars and planets, and therefore the origin of the solar system, according to which a rotating nebula underwent gravitational collapse into a star with an accretion disk, from which planets...
Pluto so that the two planets remain in orbits that cross, Pluto has not cleared its own orbit and was therefore demoted from planet status to that of a newly created category,dwarf planet.Like a planet, a dwarf planet orbits the sun, is large enough to assume a nearly round shape, and...
I like Star Wars, Star Wars is set in space, my website is about space, hence I made a Star Wars thing for the website. The graphic shows all the planets and moons seen in the original (theatrical) trilogy to scale alongside the two Death Stars for good measure. The sizes of the ...
Astronomy deals with big things. Big objects such as planets and stars, and big distances. This lesson deals with the planetary scale of measurement, and how extremely distant objects are observed. From the Moon to the Edge of the Observable Universe ...

The Sun is the center of our universe as the Earth and seven other planets orbit around it. The Sun brings light and warmth to our world. But should we ask another question: Can we create an artificial sun? Cartoon Commentary, Xi's Europe Visit ③: Writing the "Success Story" of China...
Here we present a simulation of interstellar turbulence with a grid resolution of 10,0483 cells that allows us to determine the position and width of the sonic scale (ℓs)—the transition from supersonic to subsonic turbulence. The simulation simultaneously resolves the supersonic and subsonic ...
