Not sure but I suspect it is a difficult concept to properly visualise
without destroying scale.

For example if you had a page of A4 (or letter for the Americans here) paper
with the sun on one edge and Pluto on the other, the dot for Pluto would be
microscopic.

Compare that distance to the distance to other galaxies and the sheer space
would be astronomical (pun intended :-))

This all said, if you do find one can you let me know. I think it would be
quite interesting.
