That's actually kind of realistic. We're spoiled by not-to-scale media depictions of solar systems. In the real universe, you have to be really close to something (on an astronomical scale), for it to show as disk rather than just another point of light.

Oh, and CapnQ, all 4 of the links in your sig are broken, including the first one, to PBW. And I just checked to be sure PBW is up
