So Overstreet and his partner, Alex Gorosh, decided to build a model that would accurately represent what the solar system actually looks like.

In the span of 36 hours they platted out a mesmerizing and visceral true scale model solar system, even attaching lights to their car to drive and film the orbits of the planets at night.

A first-of-its kind AI-powered model attempts to better predict space weather and its impacts. The model — called Surya, for ...

Two filmmakers built what might be the first-ever scale model of the Solar System in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, and it spanned seven miles.

The new open-source AI model, Surya, is trained on nine years of satellite imagery data and can accurately predict the sun's ...

For any future sustainable energy system, it is crucial to know the performance of photovoltaic (solar cell) systems at local, regional and global levels. Researchers have investigated and mapped ...

In To Scale: The Solar System, the filmmakers seek to make a model of the solar system that gets the orbits and the size of the planets perfectly to scale.

In this solar system, Jupiter is about the size of a miniature watermelon. The sun is a small weather balloon. And the orbits, traced onto a dry lakebed, are huge.

Just for fun, here's a Python model showing part of the solar system (up to Jupiter). If you want to see how to make this, I have a video for you.

For the first time researchers have simulated images of sections of our Solar System as they may have appeared some 700 million years ago.
