Really shows the crazy scale. It puts all the planets on exactly the same plane though, dont think that is quite right.

  And they excluded Pluto! Guess it's just a faint memory now :(

    All planets are aligned within a few degrees actually. Pluto’s orbit is angled quite a bit if i recall correctly (which maybe was one of the reason to kick it out?)

      The main reason is that Pluto is an outlier by size, and then we've discovered many more similarly-sized objects...

        Also, pluto hasn't cleared its orbit (yet) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_the_neighbourhood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_the_neighbourhood
