That's very cool, but upon first opening up, and having not read the introduction, I took the blue line markers to mean the extent of the Solar System (duh) so my first thought was "huh, that's actually fairly close!".
Might've been a good idea to write "Light year" in the same blue as the markers and have some smaller text, or whatever, to indicate the zoomed Voyager and Solar-system extent.
If the farther Voyager hit the solar bow shock, is that now a fair indicator of the extent of the solar system? Or is it fairer to says it stretches out as far as the Oort cloud (which of course it does, but in turn mangles any appreciable scale)?
