'How Far is it to Mars?', A site where you can experience how many pixels away from Mars if the earth is 100 pixels.

NASA is aiming for

a manned exploration flight to Mars in the mid-2030s, and the European Space Agency (ESA) is also cooperating in the development, but 'Because you can go to the moon, Mars will be a little far away. For those who have a sweet perception of '?', A site has appeared that allows you to experience how far Mars is actually with a browser.

How Far is it to Mars?

First of all, this is the earth, the size of 100 pixels.

Discover the moon just by scrolling down a little.

The problem starts here. I can't see Mars at all even if I scroll it ... It seems to be swallowed by the abyss of the universe.

When my heart was about to break, I finally found Mars, 428,000 pixels away. You can see this by actually trying it, but it is an unusual distance, and you can clearly experience the difficulty of manned flight to Mars.
