So Overstreet and his partner, Alex Gorosh, decided to build a model that would accurately represent what the solar system actually looks like.

Two filmmakers built what might be the first-ever scale model of the Solar System in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, and it spanned seven miles.

A pair of filmmakers visited a dry lake bed in Nevada to build what they describe as the first-ever scale model of the solar system.

The model features the sun in the middle, surrounded by the eight planets in our Solar System (sorry, Pluto, we still love you). What is interesting about this build is that it is working and it ...

In To Scale: The Solar System, the filmmakers seek to make a model of the solar system that gets the orbits and the size of the planets perfectly to scale.

Get your scrolling hand ready. An interactive web page has created a scale model of the solar system, where the moon is the size of just one pixel.

In this solar system, Jupiter is about the size of a miniature watermelon. The sun is a small weather balloon. And the orbits, traced onto a dry lakebed, are huge.

Just in time for the total solar eclipse next April, Arkansas State University is announcing the installation of the Voyage Model Solar System on the campus.

Aroostook County’s iconic Maine Solar System Model is about to get even bigger.
