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

In the span of 36 hours they platted out a mesmerizing and visceral true scale model solar system, even attaching lights to their car to drive and film the orbits of the planets at night.

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.

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.

For any future sustainable energy system, it is crucial to know the performance of photovoltaic (solar cell) systems at local, regional and global levels. Researchers have investigated and mapped ...

For the first time researchers have simulated images of sections of our Solar System as they may have appeared some 700 million years ago.
