Trivia: When the Moon eclipses the Sun, the camera exposure is adjusted so that you can see the Light of the earth reflecting back upon the moon. This was actually done by using a stand in Earth model to get reasonably accurate Earth "shine", it is Blue on the left side because the moon is flying over the Gulf of Mexico, and is white/tan on the right side because that part is over the United States . it is Dark in the middle because it is casting a huge shadow, and that shadow does not reflect light back on the Moon. I didn't quite expect it to look like this, it was a nice surprise
At this distance the Moon would rise in the west and set in the east, The Moon Orbits the Earth counterclockwise when viewed from the North pole looking *down*. the same direction that the earth rotates. Normally the Moon orbits much slower than the earth rotates so it rises in the east and sets in the west, however at 420km it orbits much faster, faster than the earth rotates underneath, therefore it will rise in the west and set in the east
The Moon would orbit very fast, somewhere between 130 mins and 90 mins, i'll work this figure out later, it's actually a simple problem, but i'm busy!
the Moon is tidally locked in this animation, even thou it doesn't *seem* like it. The reason for this is that we are Not viewing it from the center of the earth, but rather it's surface
the 420km altitude is measured surface to surface. the center to center orbital distance is 8528km
The time in the video is sped up. the moon would transverse the sky slower.. like 10 mins (rough guess at this time)
The Moon is well within the Roche limit. at this distance the Moon would break up and form a new ring system. The Earth might also be destroyed.
The Moon is not in anyway Transparent, when it sets you're simply seeing the sky in front of it, and earth shine reflected onto it, remember it's in Space, it isn't in the air

yes, I'm working on more "what if" space like videos, but I'll probably also post more mirror like videos, cause I think they are interesting. also i wanted an HD version of this posted. this video is very Visually Noisy, and Youtube encoding does not like visually noisy videos, going forward I will take steps to make my videos less noisy visually. I spent waaaaay to much time trying to clean up the video, and I would rather just move to a new project nowInside a Cylindrical Mirroryeti dynamics2023-08-27 | What it looks like inside a cylindrical mirror (that shrinks)What would it Look like with all the planets between the earth and the moon?yeti dynamics2019-03-20 | I clipped the intro
What did I just watch?
quick faqs:
All the planets in the solar system will fit between the earth and the moon at the moons farthest distance. Most of the time. The Moons apogee (farthest distance in orbit) varies greatly with each orbit due mostly to the influence of the sun, In my example I used a distance of 406377 km
In this video All the planets are fitted between the earth and the moon with small, Less then 1000km distance, between each one, Each planet has a different orbital velocity based on distance, and based on a negligible mass. The orbital velocities are correct for objects of negligible mass.., In reality everything would crash into each other.
Why do the planets seem to be going in different directions? They aren’t. The Orbits of the planets are all going in the same direction, same as the moon would, however the earth is Rotating, and the closer planets are moving faster than the earth rotates therefore they rise in the west instead of the east.
This video takes place over a period of about 4 days. At night the planets are so bright and fill the sky so well that they illuminate the ground very well. This illumination effect is done with a decent amount of accuracy. However the brightness of the stars is a bit exaggerated. But it looks prettier
The stars are accurately placed, or possibly upside down.. I think they are correct... They are too bright, but this is on purpose.
Shadow Penumbras are correctly modeled, however atmospheric caustics are partially faked
Venus's albedo is not correct, it should be brighter than Jupiter. The Pluto map is a True color map of Pluto, with the blank spots filled in artistically.
the order of the planets from nearest to farthest and also Smallest to Largest:
Pluto Mercury Mars Venus Neptune Uranus Saturn Jupiter
Saturn's Rotation is extra impossible, but I had to prevent the rings from colliding
The rest of the planets actually have correct sizes, Tilts and rotational speeds, including the earth.
Jupiter and Saturn are correctly Oblique

From the website: "How can you tell if your solar viewer is not safe? You shouldn't be able to see anything through a safe solar filter except the Sun itself or something comparably bright, such as the Sun reflected in a mirror, a sunglint off shiny metal, the hot filament of an unfrosted incandescent light bulb, a bright halogen light bulb, a bright-white LED flashlight (including the one on your smartphone), or an arc-welder's torch. All such sources should appear quite dim through a solar viewer.

other notes. I debated whether to animate from the barycentre of the Pluto Charon system, or just center pluto, I chose to center pluto, the camera is tracking with Pluto, since the point of the video was to show off the pluto imagery, more than give quick facts about pluto. In the future, i'll either explain this. or change the animation.

Saturn's rings were created using Voyager data and Cassini Data, and tables from the IAU, and nasa Interestingly enough, the voyager data and Cassini data did Not completely match each other, More interestingly the differences between the two data sets were not consistent along the ring, specifically the small Gaps along the rings are inconsistent between voyager and cassini. there are 3 conclusions i can reach from this, 1, the data is simply not perfectly accurate, 2, I interpreted the data incorrectly, 3, the Rings have actually changed a bit between voyager and cassini.
To create the rings, I interpolated between the two data sets, so the rings are a mix between voyager and cassini data, there are multiple textures used, for scattering, translucency, transparency, and color, I think I probably have some of the highest resolution textures in use anywhere on the web(over 19k pixels across),
in Part 1, (the 2d blue print video)the Planets are all correctly scaled to each other, except the SUN.. The Orbits are also all correctly scaled to each other (except the Moon's)However the planet size, and the planet orbits are not scaled to each other. The orbital speeds are also all correct relative to one another,
In part 2, The illumination between the moon and Saturn is reasonably accurate, In case you didn't understand, This is Saturn as Far away as the closest approach mars would get
in Part 3, the meteors ramp up and down in response to going through the very distended outer rings E, and G
the Meteors are Greenish, I've actually seen a Number of large daylight meteors, all of them had flashes of green and blue, The velocity and direction they are in the video is accurate to the motion of Saturn in this video

Animation was than authored as a Playable DVD, DVD was recorded onto a Super VHS (JVC). This VHS recorder can record in super VHS mode on normal cassettes, although the metal tapes work better (neither is comparable in quality to modern HD tech). I didn't want the quality to be as Bad as just normal VHS, so i used the highest quality VHS tech that is possible.

SATURN!.. The super close moon is Dione, the one slightly further out is Tethys Both are *tiny* but *very* close
In order show:
Mars Venus Neptune Uranus Jupiter Saturn
Mercury is intentionally left off as it isn't Much bigger than our Moon (and hence is boring)
**************** on Jupiter, you might be able to make out the 4 big moons, They all have orbits larger than our moons orbit. but I stuck them on the far side of jupiter so that they could be seen so it looks as if they are closer (to Jupiter) than they really are.
*************** Video creation method I created an Earth Moon system in 3dsmax, with accurate sizes and accurate orbital distances.. I than matched video of the real Moon with my video camera, against my model. I also researched the correct FOV of my video camera. I used both methods to verify my Virtual camera's FOV (around 47 degrees). I next modeled up the rest of the planets in proper scale (Real values) set at the distance of the moon (center to center) (also real values), created the animation of them rotating around, and composited the whole bunch. *************** Faq:

Distance to Moon 384,000km Faq: (faq shrunk from other video for "reasons")
1, We would not be engulfed by Jupiter or any other planet, Jupiter's radius is 71,490 km and the distance to the Moon is 384,000km
2, We would suffer from really really horrible tides and earthquakes(and radiation)
3, I *did* model the Ring of debris around Uranus, I actually modeled 8 of them, but you can mostly just make out 3, This was actually the tipping point for me to render this out in 4k resolution
4, I love Pluto, and Mercury. They are left off because they are too small. Pluto is smaller than our Moon, and Mercury is not significantly larger than our Moon.
5, The "Sun" I used for lighting the planets is completely off from reality,
7 Orbiting! Yes! we would be a moon of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. They are much more massive than the Earth. Venus is about the same size of the Earth and we would orbit around a center point between us
8 Rotation rates and axial tilts are not accurate to anything
9 Radius of the Sun is 695,500 km, and hence if it were where our Moon is, we would be engulfed by it
10 Scales are Accurate, Every few days someone says my scales are wrong, Or that someone says I'm presenting Saturn as being bigger than Jupiter. I'm going to go through some of the arguments I keep hearing (paraphrasing each)
a. "You're showing Saturn larger than Jupiter": I am not, Saturn is clearly smaller than Jupiter in the video, Saturn+ring system *IS* larger than Jupiter (in terms of radius) This is easy to look up.
b. "Jupiter is 300 times larger than Earth! therefore it's wrong in your video (or 1000 times larger etc)" : There are many sayings about how much larger Jupiter is than earth. 300 is Probably referring to Mass... 1000.. is probably referring to Volume. Without actually specifying the Dimension the argument is pretty moot. I will say this Jupiter's Radius is about 11 times that of Earths, which fits precisely with my video.
c. "I saw another video where Jupiter Filled the sky!, therefore you're wrong": I am very familiar with the video. I even Like the video. However the FOV (field of view) of his Ground does not match the FOV of the planets. In other words, he has a wide angle lens on the ground, and a zoomed lens on the planets. To his own credit he admits this in his own description. In my video My ground FOV and my planet FOV are the same, and hence graphically matched and very reasonably accurate.
d. The confidence I have for my scales being correct is exceptionally high. The dimensions used for the planets and rings has at one point been triple checked along with the earth moon distance. It's interesting to see how a *few* people have gotten completely worked up over their misconceptions on scale. The size of the Moon is a bit of an illusion, I Think if you still have misconceptions you should hold a dime out to arms length , and hold it against the moon, Or even go out with your own camera,, Zoom out all the way.. and take a photo of the Moon. It really is Tiny against the sky. It's only about half a degree in angular diameter.

Mercury is intentionally left off as it isn't Much bigger than our Moon (and hence is boring)
Everything is correctly scaled. The Axial tilts are not particularly accurate. the moon that flies in front of Saturn is Tethys. It is Tiny. but *very* close
Dione would be on a collision course, it's orbital distance from Saturn is Nearly identical to our Moon's orbit around Earth
Titan, which is Larger than our Moon, is outside the orbit of Dione
**************** on Jupiter, you might be able to make out the 4 big moons, They all have orbits larger than our moons orbit. but I stuck them on the far side of jupiter so that they could be seen so it looks as if they are closer (to Jupiter) than they really are.

Distance to Moon 384,000km
Faq: (will expand as needed)
1, We would not be engulfed by Jupiter or any other planet, Jupiter's radius is 71,490 km and the distance to the Moon is 384,000km
2, Saturn is not larger than Jupiter. Saturn + RINGS is larger than Jupiter
3, We would suffer from really really horrible tides, and Volcanoes And some pretty bad Radiation from Jupiter. It *could* strip away our atmosphere, but haven't done the math. Eventually our planet would become tidally locked (that is the same side of Earth would always face Jupiter. we would Still have some bad tides and volcanoes from being in a slightly ellipitical orbit, and from the other moons of Jupiter, and the Sun having tidal influence. I have not calculated how bad the Tides would be. A Simple guess would be at Least 300 times more exaggerated than they are now, This figure could be way off, it's simply an educated guess.
4, We would not be in the rings of Saturn. Or to rephrase that, we would not be in any of the Visable rings of Saturn, There are some very very faint rings that strech out far that we would be in, but i did not model them.
5, We would not be crushed by the Gravity of Jupiter, This is not how orbiting works!. However, at the Roche limit, we WOULD become a new ring system, The Roche limit is *about* 36,000km above the "surface" of Jupiter or 106,000km from the center of Jupiter. So, to reiterate if the center of Jupiter was 106,000km away from the center of the earth, Our planet would become a new Ring system of Jupiter.
6, I did not model the Ring of debris around Uranus (this faq will be deleted in a few days)
7, This is not an ad for any beer company, no one has endorsed me, or this animation, It's just the traffic that drove by.
8, There is Ring Shine on Saturn, but it is very faint, the Rings are reflecting light onto Saturn in the animation. The moon that flies by is Tethys
9, I love Pluto, and Mercury. They are left off because they are too small. Pluto is smaller than our Moon, and Mercury is not significantly larger than our Moon.
10, The "Sun" i used for lighting the planets is slightly off from reality, this was done so that they weren't totally dark and boring
11 FOV is about 47 degrees

There are other known stars That may very well be larger, however it is not well established that they actually are, and they may in fact be Smaller. Rather than choosing one of those stars, and just using the upper limit (which would have Dwarfed Betelgeuse), I chose to be more realistic and conservative and went with a more established size. For the record, the contender would be KY cygni with an UPPER limit of 2850 solar Radii. --------------- I will be making many more space videos.Gravity Field of the Moon overlaid with terrain mapyeti dynamics2012-12-06 | This is a video i made overlaying the GRAIL (Gravity Recover and Interior Laboratory) Gravity Field of the moon map over the Moon (optical) map.
