Traveling the Solar System at the SPEED OF LIGHT

Subtitles

We're currently traveling at the speed of light.

In our visualization at least.

To put the vast distances

of our Solar System into perspective,

we're traveling at the speed

of light from the Sun and we'll

explore the rest of the Solar System.

Oh and, no, we're not accounting

for relativity in our visualization.

This is Mercury.

Or...maybe I should say..

that was Mercury since...

it's gone now.

And...there went Venus.

Here's Earth! On this planet,

several millions of kilometers

from the Sun, there is someone

watching an extremely long video

demonstrating the size of the

Solar System.

This is Mars. And this is empty

space...yet again.

What? All that build up for

some...random asteroid. Ah...

I guess that must mean we're

entering the Asteroid Belt.

Oh! There's Ceres! The first

dwarf planet on our tour! ...just

casually sitting there in the

middle of the Asteroid Belt.

What? Again?

These asteroids are annoyingly

anticlimactic. Although, I guess

BlenderTimer probably put that

there to mark the end of the Asteroid Belt.

Oh wait...I am BlenderTimer...

I guess I should know shouldn't I...

There's Jupiter. Gigantic planet.

But also...say it with me...very,

very tiny.

Look, I have to break up the

monotony of his video somehow.

Here goes Saturn, the second

largest planet and one with a

beautiful design!

You know, I guess the largest

thing in the Solar System is this grid.

I mean, we've traveled quite a

long distance and it's still there.

There's Uranus. And no, Uranus

is not the coldest planet. Between

Neptune and Uranus, Uranus has

the coldest recorded temperature,

but Neptune has the coldest average

temperature. So Neptune is technically

the coldest.

I've only gotten like 473 quintillion

comments saying Uranus is the

coldest planet...

That may or may not have been

a slightly major exaggeration.

And...there goes Neptune. The

last major planet, but far from

the edge of the Solar System!

And here's Pluto. The largest

dwarf planet.

And yes, Pluto is larger than Eris.

Pluto is 44 kilometers larger

in diameter than Eris, making

it the largest dwarf planet. I

only received a few billion comments

about that...

Or maybe more like a few dozen,

but anyway..

This is Haumea! A very flat

dwarf planet.

That was Makemake. Just in case

you couldn't read.

And I guess our exploration

will have to end here. During

this time around 7 meteorites

passed through the atmosphere

and hit Earth, around 539 earthquakes

have occurred, about 152,000 people

were born, there have about 3.

4 million lightning strikes, and

Jupiter has experienced nearly

an entire day.

But this is not the edge of

the Solar System, the edge of

the Solar System is still 1 year

and 7 months distant.
