A few recent posts got me to thinking of this (again) and so I made a quick
little animation showing a fast trip from vicinity of Earth to the Sun.  It's
not much, needs a space craft or other diversions + about 1000 more frames to
be anything worthwhile.  Mercury and Venus are there someplace but are lost in
it all so don't even look for them.
I better explain some of it.  The Sun is a media filled sphere almost a POV
unit across, complete with flares and corona, but nothing science-fact.
Especially the journey at a speed I'd rather not calculate.  The camera starts
off slow and speeds up, although that doesn't really show in this.  I used the
equation out of C.C.'s  ClockMod include file to do acceleration of the
camera.
Enjoy the ride.
