This is what happens when you stay awake for 30+ hours and then try to do a video demo of an Android Application. I later redid this… but I thought it would be enertaining to pick on myself a little bit. It was a rather stupid sequence of events and hopefully you’ll enjoy this “Blooper” version of my Google Sky Map for Android Review.

I created this animation using 3ds max 3d modeling and particle sytems.
My fascination with our universe goes way back to my childhood and I’m sure many of you out there share the same interest.
Please note that this video wasn’t intended to to compare planet/sun size but just a visual representation of the solar system where planets textures are visible for the inner and outer planets.
Part 2 of this Video is now also available.
I hope you enjoy it

(Pluto is no longer classified as a planet, but it’s there for size comparison. As for the Sun, it was never a planet but is here for the very same reason.)
I always wanted to see a one-by-one comparison of the sizes of the planets, so I put the numbers into my 3d program. These are all correct proportions (of size, not distance).
Tamen, the final planet, was a world we created when we were children. Obsessed with size, we said it was 1,000 times larger than Earth’s sun (this was actually only 100 times larger, because 1000 made the sun so small you couldn’t really see it). We later learned that such a planet would have to much gravity that not only would no living thing survive, but you may get a nice little black hole started right there in the planet!
Wow… and I just realized that had the sun have been sitting where it is in this video, it’d be sucked into the planet instantly.
*Music Appropriately taken from season 1&2 of the BBC’s Red Dwarf.

The video starts looking at Pluto’s moon, Charon, and it visits all the planets of our solar system, including Earth. Then we move 100 light years away to circle the Sun, away again to 15.000 light years, travelling outside the galaxy, to finally travel 500.000 light years away from it.
