JAMES: THIS WEEK, WE'RE
GOING TO HELP YOU PUT THE SOLAR SYSTEM IN

PERSPECTIVE.

DEAN: AND
WE'LL SHOW YOU USING OBJECTS YOU CAN FIND,

RIGHT IN YOUR KITCHEN.

JAMES: THE NEXT TIME YOU PICK UP AN ORANGE,
PRETEND THAT IT'S

THE SUN.

THEN, TAKE A GRAIN OF SALT AND THAT WILL REPRESENT
THE EARTH,

CIRCLING THE ORANGE AT 30 FEET AWAY.

DEAN: NOW, TAKE A BLACK BEAN
AND THIS REPRESENTS THE PLANET JUPITER, CIRCLING

ONE CITY BLOCK AWAY FROM THE
ORANGE.

THE PLANET SATURN, WOULD BE ANOTHER BEAN TWO
CITY BLOCKS AWAY.

AND
PLUTO, WOULD BE ONE SPECK OF PEPPER, 10 CITY

BLOCKS FROM THE ORANGE.

JAMES: OR THINK OF IT LIKE THIS.

IF WE COD FIT OUR ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM,
OUR SUN AND ALL ITS PLANETS, INCLUDING THE

DISTANCES BETWEEN THEM, INSIDE A
COFFEE CUP, OUR GALAXY WOD BE THE SIZE OF

NORTH AMERICA!

DEAN:
NOW THAT'S AN ASTRONOMICAL CUP OF JOE.

BOTH: KEEP LOOKING UP!
