Scale of the Universe
Amazing flash animation where you choose the scale with a slider and it zooms from quantum foam to the entire universe. Spectacular.
Reminds me of the classic logscale comics at XKCD. Making their own scale picture is an excellent assignment.
Wow! I love this. And, amazingly, this is the second new power of ten type thing I heard about this morning.
