Solar System (Please see updated version)

Visit http://www.avantgravity.com/3d_solar_system.html for an updated, higher-res version of this animation. A quick 3-D flight to the end of the solar system and back! The planets are spaced proportionally apart from one another and from their respective moons, but I made them substantially larger than they should be given the distances, just to make them easier to see. The relative rotational and orbital velocities should be correct (yes, Jupiter and Saturn spin about their axes insanely fast...). I only included moons measuring more than 1,000 km in diameter.

Where are the asteroid belt, kuiper belt, oort cloud,etc., or shall we rename this "Partial Solar System?"

I like it, but need some music.

You're right -- check out my latest version called "Solar System II"... I improved the planet textures as well adding music...
