Are you kidding me? Sideways scroll with no way to use my scroll wheel? It's choppy and unreadable scrolling using the scrollbar, and using the right arrow is just too slow.
I think it was designed for a Macbook's excellent trackpad. That said, I can see how it would be really difficult to scroll without one.

I've always used alt+scroll for horizontal scrolling. Edit: doesn't seem to work on the linked page
Yep it doesn't. So actually, on chrome, without an autoscroll extension, there is no way to scroll that page (apart from the with the right cursor button, which is way to slow to actually be valid) on a normal desktop pc. Happy new world.
1. Nice. 2. Obligatory question - how many working hours were just lost? 3. Why on earth would you use capital M for meters? I really hope I will not look really dumb in a minute, but I immediately knew something was wrong, but it actually took my quite some time to recognize it.
3. Correct, and not knowing anything about the author I would venture that the reason is that he uses imperial in his everyday life, and thus it has been a concession to the wider world to do this in metric, for which I am grateful :-) Citation for "lowercase m for meters": http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP811/sec06.html

However I just used the navigation icons on the top.
It seems many other places in central Europe have similar scale models of the solar system, though I’m not sure how common those are in North America.

I bring this up simply because I've seen a few comments over the past few days to the tone of "imperial sucks" and "imperial is clearly inferior."
To me, I only see using imperial units as an advantage. As Americans, the metric system is already hammered into our heads in grammar school anyways. Some might see it as Americans being uninformed or accustomed to antiquated methods, but I see it as Americans being able to speak two languages (at least the Americans I'm most familiar with).
