Riding Light - From the SUN to PLUTO at the SPEED OF LIGHT

A journey through our solar system aboard your personal light beam, from the Sun to Pluto at the actual REAL TIME light speed. After Pluto we will go superluminal (5 times faster than light speed) to reach Voyager 1, the most distant human-made spacecraft. We have to go superluminal (which is actually impossibile in our universe) because of YouTube's video length limit (12 hours); it actually would take more than 20 hours to get from the Sun to Voyager 1 at the speed of light! TIMESTAMPS -------------- 00:00:11 - Sun (departure) 00:03:28 - Mercury 00:06:07 - Venus 00:08:30 - Earth (and Moon, 1.2 seconds after that) 00:12:49 - Mars from 00:18:25 to 00:26:52 - Asteroid Belt 00:23:26 - Ceres 00:43:24 - Jupiter 01:19:10 - Saturn 02:44:14 - Uranus 04:09:40 - Neptune 05:28:40 - Pluto (we still love you) 05:28:53 transition to 5x light speed 08:31:41 transition back to 1x light speed 08:32:16 - Voyager 1 (arrival) All planets distances are the average distance of that object's orbit from the Sun. Planets are (sort of) to scale. Background stars are there only to show that we're actually moving, they're not to scale with the actual size, position and speed. Asteroids in the asteroid belt are not to scale. You can also use this video to relax with the music and travel together with light through its journey to the farthest spacecraft humanity has ever sent!
