Solar System Journey of the Planets

[djmcpingu]

uranus.....ur anus (yeah...that was stupid joke)

[stampede122]

@djmcpingu yea...... bet most people, including myself, is very annoyed with it

[MrsBlindStudios]

If all your planets are lined up that makes this the year 2012.. O.o

[jhmoonman]

Different. /:-). 

[hippypower69]

what the fuck was that UF fukn O man sure it was it sure was man

[mung0jerry]

But then, I reckon you have to show something to indicate movement through the void b/w the planets and not just a static black screen ;).

[mung0jerry]

Very cool anim, otherwise, but if those points of light represent stars they'd not look like they're being "passed by" would they? They're way too far away from anywhere in the solar system. Ergo, I'd think that the stars seen ahead in the direction of travel as shown here would still be seen as relatively stationary points of light?

After all, even at the speed of light it would still take 4.2 YEARS to get to the nearest star Proxima Centauri at 3.97x10¹³ km.

[HapinasuSuikun]

what about all those stars around the planets? and whats the differences between a star and a planet? a planet has to be a certain colour?

a star has to be so many degrees?

..These are the questions that haunt me...

[FeynmanMH42]

@HapinasuSuikun - stars are much larger and more massive than planets. Inside a star, it's so hot, and there's so much pressure, that hydrogen atoms are crushed together to make helium atoms. This process is called nuclear fusion and releases the energy (light, heat) that makes stars shine. To be massive enough to start nuclear fusion, something has to be about 20 times more massive than Jupiter, the most massive planet. Stars shine by their own light, while planets don't - they (continued)

[FeynmanMH42]

@HapinasuSuikun (continued) reflect the light of their parent star. Planets travel round stars, and all the planets in the Solar System travel round the Sun, which is the only star in the Solar System.

All the other stars are much, MUCH further than any of the planets or anything else in the Solar System. The nearest star outside our Solar System, Proxima Centauri, is over 7000 times further than Neptune!

this is travel too fast ...if it was in real life xD

[mochalex]

Wow! It's amazing how close Earth is, by comparison.

[beeDUB75]

so this is roughly 31 times the speed of light we are travelling at here

[JohanLatki]

I haven't calculated it like that . but if it is your rough estimate, i will take you on your word. Sounds abstract, and strange... those distances and speed and the sheer volume of dark space

[wfly81]

@JohanLatki Yea, roughly 8 1/2 minutes vs 4 1/4 hours.

[MrsBlindStudios]

@beeDUB75 precisely its 30.047899762224538082406591286­277 times the speed of light.. Im really bored.. xD

[alimalpak]

Good job! I appreciate instructional videos that actually show some intellect as opposed to all the junk that is found on youtube

[darkhelmit1234]

very cool

[thecolclough]

wow. i just watched the whole thing without skipping the boring bits, and it's a pretty awesome trip! the sheer size of those distances are scary.

[MandeepGadgetBoy]

Intresting...
