Scale-model of the Solar System

Different take on it (I saw one scale model using Google Maps for
instance) This one simply scales the sun and planets to pixel-size
(ie, the sun is 1200 pixels across, making Pluto 2 pixels. And Pluto
is over 5 *million* pixels off-screen to the right!)

Here's another analogous rendering based on size from Mercury through
Antares:
