Nice find! I always liked the explanation of the distances in space when described in smaller units that still helped explain how vast our solar system is. This is one site that helps cut things down to size: http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/solar_system/ Fill in the diameter of the sun in inches and it will calculate the rest of the planets and their orbits.
