  1. On the occasion of Voyager 1's 47th anniversary. If you shrunk the universe by ½ trillion,

    The Sun would be three mm across.

    Mercury would orbit one fist away (114 mm).

    The Earth would orbit one foot away, be skinnier than a human hair (0.03mm).

    The entire planetary solar system would fit in a house (Neptune = 9m).

    Fuck Pluto.

    Voyager 1 would be 47 meters away

    If the Sun were on the Santa Monica pier, Alpha Centauri would be just past Pomona College (exit #47).

    If the Sun were at the south tip of Staten Island, Alpha Centauri would be in Mianus, CT (80 km).

    Uranus would be in the next room (6 m).
