This interactive map vividly illustrates the vast emptiness of space by showing the enormous distances between planets and moons in our solar system, emphasizing how much of the universe is empty space.

Why it matters: It helps people grasp the incomprehensible scale and emptiness of space beyond familiar celestial bodies.

The big picture: Over 99.9999999999999999999958% of the universe is empty space, making planets tiny specks in a vast void.

Stunning stat: Traveling from Earth to Mars by spaceship takes about seven months, translating to needing 2000 movies to fill the time.

Commenters say: Users praise the map's immersive horizontal scrolling and light-speed toggle for conveying space's scale and emptiness, though some find scrolling tedious and note missing features like the Oort Cloud.
