Eight Wonders of the Solar System, Made Interactive

From Scientific American: What might future explorers of the solar system see?

Artist Ron Miller takes the viewer on a journey to eight of the most breathtaking views that await explorers of our solar system.

The scale of these natural wonders dwarfs anything Earth has to offer. What might we see and feel if we could travel to these distant domains?

By interpreting data from probes such as NASA’s Cassini, which is now exploring the Saturnian system, and Messenger, which goes into orbit around Mercury in March 2011, the artist’s eye allows us an early visit to these unforgettable locales.
