1:1,000,000,000 Scale: Pluto

It's sort of convenient that I haven't yet found the models for Jupiter, Saturn or Uranus since I've run out of places to put them for the time being.  Pluto is 3.66 miles from the Sun in this scale model.  Its orbit is far more eccentric than the other planets (in a couple ways), so sometimes it would be noticeably even further.  Compare that to Mercury at 190 feet and earth at under 500 feet from the Sun.  Pluto is a tiny sphere, and appropriately painted black.  Defiantly, Eugene's model states that "Pluto is a planet!"  Take THAT, IAU!
