What amazes me the most is the fact that we discovered Neptune using mathematical predictions and then pointed a telescope and voilà. A 1 meter ball located 85,000 meters away from the Sun (in your scale). Pretty amazing.

Nice shot of the Adventure Clone modeling Neptube. And I just wanted to write "Neptube" and now I have. Thank you, Science Asylum!

You deserve way more subscribers, been following for a while and enjoying every piece of content along the way, thank you for the hard work on your channel to us crazies!

1:52,800,000 means 1 ft = 10,000 mi.; 1 mm = 32.8 mi Here's a crazy suggestion: Your model takes you out to over 50 miles. Now picture what that model looks like, depicted on your basketball model of Earth; that is, the actual model you're showing, on the actual Earth, as it would be represented on your basketball Earth. Now use that new scale, 1:52,800,000² = 1:2,787,840,000,000,000 to model nearby stars and the galaxy! On your original model, 1 AU was ≈ 9290 ft ≈ 1.76 mi. 1 lt-yr is ≈ 63,000 AU. At your original scale, that's ≈ 111,000 mi, which, in the new scale, is 11.1 ft. That puts α (& Proxima) Centauri, 4.2 lt-yr away, at ≈ 47 ft. It puts the galaxy's diameter, ≈ 100k lt-yr, at ≈ 1,100,000 ft ≈ 200 mi. So draw a 100-mi radius (≈50k lt-yr) circle on a map, around Detroit. That goes somewhere near, idk, Grand Rapids? Cleveland, OH? Ft. Wayne, IN? London, Ont.? Or you could place the Milky Way model using Earth's location in it as origin, some 30k or so lt-yr from the galactic center. Then M31, the "Andromeda Galaxy," is 40 or 50 of those radii away, which would take you to Anchorage? Paris? Moscow? Cairo? Buenos Aires? Just a little reminder how unbelievably huge astronomical distances really are! And then to model the largest known structures in the universe, you'd have to re-scale your model one more time! 1:52,800,000³ = 1:147,197,952,000,000,000,000,000; a scale of 1 m = 15.6 M lt-yr. Now you can model the Local Cluster, the Local Supercluster, the Great Wall, the black-hole merger seen as the first LIGO event, etc. Like I said, a crazy idea!! Fred

Nice to see the area I grew up in being highlighted. I remember when the imagination station when in. I was too old to reasonably play on it back then. As an edgy teenager I wouldn't have done it anyway. Went to Highschool in Stockbridge. Right where Neptune coasts through. I used to hang with whole crew of guys in Deerborn Heights. At 100,000 AU. The Oort cloud would extend more than half way to the moon on this scale (assuming I did my math right.) There's still no way to visualize just how big that is. Even at 52,800,000/1. I stated in the Earth-Moon video that the closest stars to the sun would be nearly four times further away than the moon. What that means is that I can clear the entire solar system in about a hour and a half in my car. But Alpha Centari would be so far away that my odometer would roll over during the trip. Just for giggles I did the figures and found Andromeda would be in the neighborhood of Neptune on this scale. Kind of brings the whole thing round back to where we started before we compressed the scale. Thought that was a neat coincidence.
