LONDON: We know that the solar system is big but most of us are unaware about how big it is. There is a lot that we still don’t know about the solar system but what we do know is that it is massive and so are the things inside it.
The world’s first scale model of the solar system is created in Nevada, and it covers 7 MILES of desert.
The huge Black Rock Desert provided just the kind of area needed by the duo to construct a to-scale model of the solar system.
A team of LA filmmakers has created the world’s first scale model of the solar system in the Black Rock desert.
With the Earth the size of a marble, the model stretches out for seven miles on a dry lakebed in Nevada.
The project was captured in a short film, titled ‘To Scale: The Solar System’ by Wylie Overstreet and Alex Gorosh.
Over 36 hours were used to create this unique model and all of this has been recorded from the top of a nearby mountain. The video of the two friends shows just how they did it.
Acknowledging how large the solar system is and the vast distances that separate the planets, measures what some find hard to comprehend. “There is literally not an image that adequately shows you what it actually looks like out there”.
To mark the orbit of each planet into the ground, they drove around the desert, and then they attached LED lights to glass spheres, which would represent each planet in its scale size.
