What was the source for these images? I would like to use them when I teach the solar system. We spend a lot of time on comparative sizes and distances.
Hi Lisa,
This is the thing with the Internet. Things float around and sources are often hard to establish. In this particular case, the images are from an e-mail that's being circulated among science teachers.
I wrote the originator of the e-mails to see if I can shed some light on the source. I'll let you know if I get an informative answer.
These are incredibly cool
My mind is now officially boggled!
We pale into insignificance on this tiny planet, don't we?
