BendiNewsTest: Filmmakers build mind-blowing 7-mile scale Solar System model in Nevada Desert

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Filmmakers build mind-blowing 7-mile scale Solar System model in Nevada Desert

Miles from civilization, in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, two filmmakers took on a challenge so big, it was pretty much out of this world. Wylie Overstreet and Alex Gorosh headed into the desert with a minivan, a few friends, a ton of video equipment, and some lighted orbs in various sizes, corresponding to each of our most familiar planets. They built a scale model of our Solar System that spanned more than seven miles, and then filmed a time-lapse video to illustrate each planet’s orbit around the sun. The results are mind-blowing.
