    I saw that story and video a while ago. Great stuff! It's cool that their fake sun appears the same size from their fake Earth. That means you could stand by any other planet in their model and see how Earth and other worlds would appear from there also.

    Yea, that video came out about 6-7 months ago...

    But, indeed it is cool. A lot of people don't understand just how large our own Solar System is - especially Pluto, how far away it is and it's only half the size of our own Moon - yet Pluto is more Earth-like than any other planet in our Solar System....

    And these "intellectuals" don't even want to call Pluto a planet...
