Interesting link.

Visually zoom in from the other side of the galaxy to earth........

Then continue through a leaf on a tree down to sub atomic particles.

Enjoy!

Very cool. Only thing I would have changed is the representation of the orbits. I would have made the planets a little brighter, but that's carping. Back before I learned about powers, I got a science book for Christmas that had pictures of things like a child at 10^2, a tree at 10^3, an office building at 10^4. Took me years to figure out.

I remember seeing something similar on TV when I was a kid. I think it zoomed into the atoms in some picnic food (don't know why I remember that!) from space and back out again.
