On an Internet of Shit, a cool website feels newsworthy, and graphic designer Josh Worth has made a very cool website. If The Moon Were Only One Pixel is a "tediously accurate" recreation of our stellar neighborhood you can explore in your browser, and it's a meditative, thoughtful way to break up the monotony of being advertised to on the web.
Like it says in the title, the page scales down our solar system so each pixel onscreen represents 3,474.8 kilometers—the diameter of the moon, and about the distance between New York and Las Vegas. Below, Worth included a ruler marking out every 100,000 and 1,000,000 km, as well as a button to auto scroll at the scale speed of light—a leisurely, Star Wars opening crawl pace.
