Even though the objects in the Solar System are those closest to us in the Universe, the distances to the farthest ones are nevertheless inconceivable. We started class by contemplating 'The Pale Blue Dot', the first-ever image taken from beyond Moon's orbit of Earth from the Voyager 1 spacecraft. At the time, Voyager 1 was at Pluto's orbit. After finding out the distances to the eight planets plus Pluto, we then re-scaled those distances to correspond to the same scale as if the school were the Sun and Jared's home were Pluto. If Jared's house is at 10km from the school, then the four inner rocky planets all lie within 400 meters (approximately 400 yards) from the school, and the gas giants fill out the rest of the space. No wonder when Voyager 1 looked back at the Earth it was a barely visible dot!
