English: This 10 billion to 1 scale model of the Solar system can be placed into hallways of most school buildings. The inner solar system can be placed inside, while some or all of the the outer planets are typically placed outside, with Neptune at a distance of 450 meters from the Sun. Students can copy the drawings by hand on index cards or cut them out and glue or tape to the cards.
The Solar System remains in a relatively stable, slowly evolving state by following isolated, gravitationally bound orbits around the Sun.

‘Amazing’ view of a total solar eclipse from outer space. Virts began his career with NASA in 2000 and retired in 2016, with two spaceflight missions under his belt.
At the bottom of the plaque is a schematic diagram of the Solar System. A small picture of the spacecraft is shown, and the trajectory shows its way past Jupiter and out of the Solar System. Both Pioneers 10 and 11 have identical plaques; however, after launch, Pioneer 11 was redirected toward Saturn and from there it exited the Solar System.
