This is nice and all, but I still think they could of done Jupiter as more than just a ring 😒
I believe that it was originally a flower garden in a circular shape, But Idk they probably wanted a more permanent object to represent it
@@donnerthereindeer366 Ah, I see. But I mean, like, Jupiter is the only object in the series that’s not a ful sphere. It just feels odd. Like, I get making a sphere of that size might be a *little* tough, but still. At least do *stomething* more than just a ring. But maybe that’s just me :P
Also Neptune needs rings
And Uranus
Hey Sweden forgot saturn
Heeeey, I am from Slovakia and this summer I went to Sweden to see this and it was sooo worth it. But you made a few mistakes... It's not 2 moons of Jupiter... There are 4 of them in the hallway... Callisto, Ganymede, Europa and Io. What else you forgot to mention is that in Uppsala the Saturn was made out of flowers, couple of years ago, then there was the moon Titan, hanging on the house of Celsius, and every school in Uppsala made a model of one of the moons of Saturn. I came there during this summer and all the schools were closed. And I wandered around the schools like a weirdo, trying to see through a window or a door... The moons... But if my eyes were right I saw one - Mimas. If you're from Sweden you can try to enter some schools during the school year and ask. And yup I went to Kiruna and Luleå... Because of this model. What the funniest part of my trip were the human interaction with people that I met on the train or the bus, and they asked me what am I doing in the middle of nowhere Sweden and when I explained them what they have under their noses they we stunned, interested and a bit sad that they didn't know about this even though they live for example 2 minutes away.
Anyway thank you Gabriel, because of you and your cute CZcams Shorts I went to Sweden and I had the best time ever.
I'm from Sweden and this is very interesting to me! It truly gives you an idea of just how large space really is.
I prefer the Melbourne Solar System where you can walk from the Sun to Pluto in an hour (5, 9 km).
It's a shame they didn't make Jupiter and Saturn!
Jupiter is built and I personally think it's quite nice!
But Saturn is still not there, and we need your support to make it happen! 🙏
@@GabrielTheGuide Jupiter is just a ring...
Eh, sun is just half a sphere, would be better if jupiter was just half a sphere?
Their plan for saturn is also just inflatable half a sphere with ring walkways around it
Looks like they cheaped out on the Uranus presentation.
I love that this model includes the termination shock at the edge of the heliosphere. There is also a solar systen drive in Australia that is hundreds of kilometers long, but it ends at Pluto and they really should add Kuiper Belt objects, Oort Cloud, and termination of the heliosphere.
The sun is represented by the giant dome of the Siding Springs Observatory. It is the world's largest model by area because it radiates along five seperate highways, each with their own models of planets but all converging on Siding Springs observatory.
These sort of driving solar system models are valuable for exciting interest amongst people who might not otherwise be interested in astronomy but find the drive really interesting. It also conveys to people an impression of both the vastness and the emptiness of the solar system and why it takes years for spacecraft to reach the more distant objects.
It’s all in the Sweden Solar system. Google it, there are 25 stations and many moons.
This is the most creative thing I've EVER seen. Thankful to the artists who made this. And thank you for telling us about it! Subbed!
I am quite proud to say i was part in building Neptune :)
@@Senjinone No freaking way! So I can say I've directly communicated with someone responsible for part of this tremendous piece! It's truly an honor! Thank you for your work.
@@kushclarkkent6669 Haha :)
This really puts things in perspective. Even with all the planets around all the stars in all the galaxies in the whole universe... even with innumerable massive black holes and unfathomable expanses of interstellar dust... the ever expanding universe is still virtually empty and is becoming more empty every instant. And then, even the matter that makes it all up is almost entirely empty space.
That's just crazy!
i love how you narrate! you have a very soothing voice
What is really cool is you can drive faster than the speed of light.
Yeah true, did the calculation and at 1:20 million scale, the speed of light is around 54 km/h. You're welcome.
I love that people have done this. What a great idea.
They had a nice one at arecibo puerto rico. As you walk into the telescope building there's a long curved pathway, they put little scale models along the handrail at the correct distances. It was very cool. Hope someone rescued those models.
Hey the Adler Planetarium has something similar too!
Hey the Adler Planetarium has something similar too!
okay now I want to travel Sweden to reach each planet
are Pluto and Caron really that close to each other?
Even though I live in Sweden, knowing that the _Globen_ (it will always be known as Globen 😄) is the "starting point", I always thought that the other reference planets was buildings, not actual scale models of the planet, and that was what made this so cool in my head...
Eg: _Globen_ is the Sun, _Katarina kyrka_ is Venus, _Stadshuset_ would be Mars, and so on*
*) I just took these buildings as an example, dont think they even fit in the solar system lay out 😄
Its super nice
Cool.
I went to visit the SSS many years ago. My timing was bas: Mercury was not accessible (museum was closed for renovations) and Jupiter was in between models. I still got to see many dwarf planets.
Also, you forgot to mention Titan is in Uppsala.
Unfortunately, Titan was removed several years ago.
Hope to see you come back some day!
In 0:21 you made a mistake showing that ‘Oumuamua is a dwarf planet but actually it is an asteroid/comet that came from another solar system
FINALLY, SOMEONE FINALLY SPENT 2 MILLISECONDS GOOGLING HOW TO PRONOUNCE THINGS
Since 1994 we visited Sweden for 18 times, each time at least for one month. For some stupid reason we didn't visit this solar system yet.
Good
Very cool. But not something you can just do in a day like the one in Australia. Why is Saturn missing?
No-one has taken the initiative to build it, but we're trying to get Uppsala to do something. Please support us!
Hi bro. have a question, according to this model where would be the nearest star A.K.A. proxima centauri??????? 🤔
Hey mate, I'm preparing a video that addresses this question! Hang tight!
👏👏👏👏👏
What's the meaning of the "Podraci" joke at 0:51?
"This is podracing". Google it 😉
@@GabrielTheGuideYep, I've seen all those movies but didn't make the connection. Thanks!
Recently in Uppsala on coffee break at the astro division (at the uni) I commented on the lack of a Saturn model and one toldme there IS a model in a park by Fyrisån, just south west of the city centre! A half sphere with a stone ring in the ground. Doesn't seem to be official so I'm thinking about emailing the city and sss-ppl about making it official. Haven't had the time yet :)
Well, anything can be a representation of anything, with some imagination. The sculpture you refer to is not the right size, though, which is the whole point of a scale model. =)
@@GabrielTheGuide
Hi, well yes I know what a scale-model is, no need to be rude :P I checked "saturn" again before lunch when walking from the station to Ångström. You're right that it's too small. My best guesstimate is that it's at most 2.5m in diameter. Checking wiki and the SSS-scale, Saturn should be more like 5.8m in diameter... (the stone ring around the metal sphere maybe is some 6m in diameter though) The distance is a bit on the short side to, ~66.8km to Globen according to Gmaps, while the orbit should be between 67.7km to 75.8km. My point was that it seems like according to some locals this is THE Saturn-model but after checking the numbers this seems to be a misunderstanding. It's just so strange that there's not a permanent Saturn model yet, I was kinda hoping this was it and it was just not official yet because of mis-communications.
Does the Pluto statue ever move to be closer than Uranus, depending on where it is in orbit?
No, the stations, as they're called, are fixed in place.
I'm glad to see that Avicii Arena represents the Sun. Really shows that Avicii is the star of Sweden.
❤
There is a scale model that spans across the entire earth. At the sun, the next star is just a few feet away, closer than most stuff in the model. The scale is true, but you'd need to walk around the whole earth, THAT distance is accurate for how far away the next star is.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Some of these sculptures are so cheaply done compared to Mercury, Venus, Earth, & Mars, its like they slowly started giving up😂
Tavlan i Delsbo är så hilma fin
Charon isn’t a moon. It’s a twin planet to Pluto.
Where would sedna be?
Would be curious to know where Alpha Centauri would be
Around two million kilometers equal to 5,5 times distance earth- moon 😅
Go to the nearest star please
...of course its in Sweden
All this feel soooo cheap... I think the worst was mars in a mall
Why is Uranus' not depicted with its axis of rotation turned by 98°, as it is in reality?
The red bar that traverses the sphere indicates the axis 😊
I have a 1:1 scale model, I’m sitting on it rn 😏
🙂👍🇸🇪
Question: what is the best way to visualize the size of Earth?
I know the diameter of Earth is 12,756 km, but it is very hard to visualize such a number, units like kilometers or miles are awfully inappropriate to express astronomical distances.
Mount Everest is a little less than 9 kms high.
If mount Everest were 9 millimeters high, Earth would be 12.756 meters high, about the size of 4-story building.
If a 2-meter-high human being were shrinked to 2 millimeters, Mount Everest would be 9 meters high, about the size of 3-story building.
So my visualization has 2 steps. I compare Earth to Everest and then Everest to a human being. If one is shrinked to a few millimeters, the other becomes the size of a building.
Is there a better way to visualize the size of Earth?
Why didn't the make Jupiter😢
Where's the comets like you said
Have a look at this page for all the locations: Swedensolarsystem.se
i have the power!!!!!!!!!
CERES??!
There are plans, but that's it for now.
Jupiter was disappointing.
🤔
Bruh who ate saturn
This Solar system representation is a bit underwhelming in my opinion. Mars doesn't look like Mars, Jupiter is shown as a Ring? Also their is no Saturn. Neptune looks good though.
Please keep in mind that Sweden Solar System is an art project. Each part is an artistic interpretation, independent in style (and funding) of the others.
We're trying to make Saturn happen. Please consider donating!
I was part in building Neptune. Thanks! :)
WHERE TF IS SATURN?!
Its cool that the planet ended up on Museums, universities, airports and parks. That's an amazing coincidence.
If the MSG Sphere las Vegas Steal your idea. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn Will ended up in In the middle of nowhere, You guys lucky.
Not Pluto and Charon being in the twin towers💀
Jupiter: made by the kid in class that tries to be clever by calling his lazy attempt a "modern art interpretation of a planet".
Uranus: kid that gives minimum effort, and just made something at the last minute, using what he found in the trash to avoid a zero.
Saturn: the kid that forgot to do the assignment, or didn't cared to do it.
It cant be the world biggest if its incomplete
Also is inflatable saturn a good idea? Are y'all not worried about vandalism?
Although smaller, the solar system scale model in Melbourne, Australia is better organised. This one lacks consistency in design and layout scheme. Underwhelming.
