Thankfully, the solution was easy:
Open Chrome Inspector Console:
$('.essay').css({ left: '20px', marginBottom: '15px', maxWidth: '600px', position: 'relative' });
$('#bigspace').css('left','inherit');

But this should not use the subjunctive, because he has indeed drawn an image using the scale of the Moon being one pixel wide. This shows it's possible, and hence the subjunctive is inappropriate.
That's not really correct. Even if we assume that this is no longer a hypothetical/counterfactual case, then the correct grammar is to use the present tense ("This is the moon as one pixel"). But, in this case, it still is counterfactual. This is really short for "If the moon were only [the size of] a single pixel", a statement which we know is not correct. You're probably confusing this with the rule surrounding ver…
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.
Sorry you have a shitty computer, or OS, or both.

Just a hint shift+scroll wheel in a lot of cases will scroll horizontally.
shift+scroll appears to scroll me back and forth in my browser history (Using FF).

I cheated :)
It was interesting along the way to verify Kepler's relationship between the orbital period and the distance. Saturn takes about 30 years to go around, and is about 30^(2/3) ~ 10 times the distance. Jupiter takes about 12 years to go around and is about 12^(2/3) ~ 5.2 the distance.
Standing by the plinth with the Earth and the Moon, looking back at the Sun, then forward to Mars, and not being able to see Jupiter really does give a true sense of the scale.
Not to diminish this effort, but getting out and walking the distances make a difference.
I had to come read the comments to figure out why I was just seeing a black screen that wasn't scrollable. Sideways scrolling? Really? There's a reason no one uses it.
We also tend to think of our planets in order from left to right from the sun.
If this was about ocean depth, vertical scrolling might be more analogous.
But its all subjective of course.
