Kepler Orrery IV
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
All of the Kepler multi-planet systems (1705 planets in 685 systems as of 24 November 2015) on the same scale as the Solar System (the dashed lines). The size of the orbits are all to scale, but the size of the planets are not. For example, Jupiter is actually 11x larger than Earth, but that scale makes Earth-size planets almost invisible (or Jupiters annoyingly large). The orbits are all synchronized such that Kepler observed a planet transit every time it hits an angle of 0 degrees (the 3 o'clock position on a clock). Planet colors are based on their approximate equilibrium temperatures, as shown in the legend.

I'd really like to know why everything is spinning in the same direction. If I'm not mistaken, Venus is spinning the opposite though. I wonder why
-
Interesting how they all rotate to the same direction... maybe it is just for the animation?
-
Come on, after this, say me we are alone, even in our galaxy.
-
Hey man! Can I use this in a video? :)
-
awesome! puts everything into perspective. makes you realize everything is exactly the same.
-
What do you mean the size of the planets are not to scale? Do you mean only our solar system or all the other solar systems? thanks
-
Can you put this on MS Worldwide Telescope? It could show the location and distance from earth, then you click to go there, see the galaxy, and read up on other specs.

amazing, very cool. it is all life and the universe my friend
-
Just some years more (above 25) to discover that we are no alone in universe.
-
Popular Science website posted this video, tried to hide the YouTube button that takes me here but I managed.
-
It made me realize how small we are and we have micro cosmic world inside of us.

-А давайте им вона че нарисуем:))) -А давайте. -Музло, главное музло в тему , чтоб шло.)))
-
ахах вы видите что планеты в нашей системе ходят по пунктирным линиям?))))) нас наебали товарищи, расходимся
-
Good job, dear God )
Just good job. -
похоже иностранцы не поняли что это вообще показали... какие же они тупые, музыка им понравилась , хахах... идиоты !

#1 reason I love astronomy. Always something weird and completely unexpected to find out there!!! The universe is a strange place.
-
The solar system we inhabit is an exception to the rule. Most others, as shown in the clip, have planets that orbit the parent star in just a few days with gas giants closer in than our own. Why is ours so different?
I can't help thinking that the universe is just a tiny fragment of something else that is so unimaginably vast. But what?
Questions, questions... -
хм. Действительно подозрительно.
-
they're all so tiny!

The video crashed... I guess I will put this computer into a garbage...
