Scrolling the planet box

Something which bugs me about the current Main Page, is that the planet box forces the entire page into horizontal scrolling mode unless you have a very wide browser window. I appreciate that many people are on wide screen displays these days, as am I, but it looks bad when your window is narrow. Personally, I almost always use my widescreen display with 2 portrait-format windows side by side, and almost never with my windows actually in widescreen format. I'm certain that I'm not alone in that. Here is a suggested change for consideration, which makes the planet box horizontally scrollable, so that the remainder of the page does not scroll (and it also adds a class to the containing box, which I regard as good practice):

I don't know about anyone else, but I just find it ugly when a single piece of content overflows right off the side of the browser window, and the majority of the content fits just fine. I think the planets look good at the size they are right now, so enabling them to scroll without overflow on narrower windows seems like a good solution.
