The Atlas of the Universe was an immensely valuable resource when I was making the SpaceWalks series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLul2c76M6HJySkSXYMoLXW9VC... During COVID, I had a lot of spare time and an aversion to reading the news or indeed anything on social media. So, I got interested in trying to wrap my head around the scale of the universe. I built an app called VOS - https://vos.ajmoon.com - which would plot things at scale on a map, allowing me to plan a walk (e.g. from the sun to Pluto) with various celestial objects at that scale. Then I made videos of some of those walk plans, explaining what you'd encounter. It was a lot of fun! |
