A very interesting animation, showing size of things, from the entire (esteemed) size of universe to parts of atomic nucleus.

Interesting. Whoever created that animation did a good job.

If you like that, you should check out the short film "powers of ten" by Charles & Ray Eames (noted designers and architects, BTW), made back in the 50s.

It's on YooToob. I'd post a link, but i'm a n00b here and can't.

cheers,

You can navigate using the arrow keys too.
It is a much better way to navigate.
My favourites were the 'Pillars of Creation' and anything at a sub-atomic level.

The pillars of creation caught my attention, too. I'd never heard of those before. It's a fantastic animation, thanks for linking!
