Scale of our Universe
 
Real interesting, gives you a
perspective of size, starting in the middle with
man,Extremes and in betweens. This is probably the
most awesome animation that I ever received. I hope
that it works for you. Just slide the bar at the
bottom left or right. Very cool. Be sure to go BOTH
ways on the sliding scale.

This is

amazing.

Very neat, I can't wait to share it with my husband and grandson (both are science guys!)

Saw a hamburger (Gomez's) in one of the big scales (Ring Nebula and Light Year). Someone who names these things must have a sense of humor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomez's_Hamburger

That is really cool though.

Traveling that deep into space, you'd think you'd see at least one alien spacecraft! :shrug:
:shocked:

It would be too small to see when compared with the other objects that show up on that scale like the Sun, Gomez's Hamburger, the Milky Way, etc.
