Rob Fatland 396 days ago This is not longer magnified by 137 because MSR fixed the bug in how scaling is done in solar system mode; so this is actually now reasonably accurate!

Rob Fatland 556 days ago Owing to an error by me (the Tour author) this data is scaled out by a factor of about 137. Not to worry; I rebuilt the Tour with the proper scaling. But this version is kind of pretty so I left it in.
