The scale on that thing is pretty shoddy though. I mean, I can understand having it not exactly to scale, especially with things like the distances between the planets, but they've got Venus bigger than Earth, and Uranus the same size as Saturn! And the sun is way too small too...

Yep, if the Earth was that close to the sun, then relatively speaking, pluto would be near Albuquerque or something. Me, I'm gonna suspend belief, and look out for people using the original image from spiritrover's (http://www.livejournal.com/users/spiritrover/9606.html) post instead of just the one Pale Blue Dot.

Where's the asteroid belt? Not that I've actually been there, but that would have been my first stop =D
