A few months ago, I made a simple WebGL app to compare the sizes of our sun and the planets for my 5 year old daughter who was curious. I updated it today to include the TRAPPIST system and see how it compares to our own solar system.

- Snoddas 10y agoVery informative. Nicely done.
- cmstoken 10y agoReally nice work. Bookmarked!
- lukaszjb 10y agoNice done! I didn't know that earth is so small compared to sun.
- Raphmedia 10y agoI love it! The fact that you made it for your daughter is even better! Comparing our sun with Trappist's star is really interesting. Try to compare it with Jupiter. They are almost exactly the same.
- callumprentice 10y agoThanks for the nice feedback everyone. I had some time tonight after work and made an improved version with better selection UI and allows for multiple bodies at once: http://callumprentice.github.io/apps/celestial_bodies/index.html?v=2&1=trappist-1&2=trappist-1b&3=trappist-1c&4=trappist-1d&5=trappist-1e&6=trappist-1f&7=trappist-1g&8=trappist-1h&9=earth http://callumprentice.github.io/apps/celestial_bodies/index....
