How big is space? (interactive)

[DrLeftover]

To celebrate our second anniversary, we’ve created an interactive version of a previous infographic, which is so big, it’s too big for this page.

This time round you get to pilot a rocket through the Solar System. There’s even more information packed into this graphic: you’ll see how close comets have come to our planet; what is the farthest travelled by a human being; how long the trip will take if you were on the Starship Enterprise... as well as a few surprises too.

So buckle up and scroll (and scroll... and scroll) through our interactive infographic of space to explore our cosmic neighbourhood.

Very.

My rocket seems to have no trouble turning around at all.
