I really like the effort that went in to this vid, and find it very useful to keep for the kids

Using a soccer ball to represent the sun, and a drone to show the orbit of planets several football fields away is just a good idea

Distances in space... it is a hard concept to wrap your brain around.

I agree that this guy did a good job.

It's amazing that in this day in age we still don't have our own solar system quite figured out .... another planet? wow

Yep

There's also pretty good evidence of a Supermassive Black Hole in our galaxy too

A good watch if you have an hour to spare. Dailymotion is a bit glitchy for me, but I couldn't find it anywhere else
