New Scientist TV: Seeing Relativity: Mind-bending tour of the solar system

New Scientist TV: Seeing Relativity: Mind-bending tour of the solar system: The tour starts in an orbit high above the surface of the Earth. As you move further away, oceans turn green and continents look red due to the Doppler effect. Passing by Mars, its surface changes colour dramatically. Then, as you speed up, Jupiter appears smaller than it actually is due to time dilation, since you're seeing what it looked like in the past, when it was further away. A small window in the lower right of the video shows the planet's actual appearance for comparison.

Flying towards Saturn, its rings look distorted and, as you reach light speed, everything around you is compressed to a single spot.
