Cool Video Shows Vast Distance Between Planets with To-Scale Timelapse of Solar System

Space may be the final frontier, but have you ever stopped to consider just how much space is between our planet earth and the our neighboring planets? Let's just say, it's a lot-- as this video shows.

So, he trucked out to the Nevada desert and went about setting up this cool video that shows the planets-- and the incredible distance between them-- to scale. Check it out...
