Heading out to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert (best known as where Burning Man takes place), the crew built a scale model seven miles in diameter, drawing out the orbits and filming models of the ...

The result is a time-lapse video that shows each of the orbits in motion, to scale, for what the film-makers claim is the first time in the real world.

Starting with an Earth the size of a marble, these folks built a full-scale model of our solar system across 7 miles of Nevada desert.

In this solar system, Jupiter is about the size of a miniature watermelon. The sun is a small weather balloon. And the orbits, traced onto a dry lakebed, are huge.

These guys put Earth in its place. Space enthusiasts Wylie Overstreet and Alex Gorosh say they built the first-ever to-scale model of the solar system — on a 7-mile stretch of dry Nevada lakebed ...

"To Scale: The Solar System" also features stunning timelapse video in which moving lights trace out the orbits of the planets on the playa.
