  %h1 Solar System
  %hr/
  %p
    I know this is not the first one on CodePen, but I'm a space and physics lover, and I wanted to create mine :)
  %p
    Here is a true time scaled solar-system, which means that every objects have a time relative to an Earth year.
    
    You can change the number in second of the
    %br/
    %code $year-in-second
    variable to increase the speed of revolutions. Here 1 year = 30 seconds.
  %p.hide
    Note the css tricks for the Saturn rings (box-shadow) and reverse animation to compensate the orbit.
