The Planets Make Beautiful Music: SolarBeat
SolarBeat is little website that shows the planets in our solar system orbiting the sun and making a little "ding!" every time they complete a circuit.

This solar system isn't big enough for two dwarf planets! Haha, what do you mean there are five? Well I say we blow up the other four out of respect for Pluto. WHO'S WITH ME?! Awesome, now how many of you actually have experience blowing things up? You sir, in the front -- what have you blown up? GOTDAMNIT SEX DOLLS DON'T COUNT.
