Title: Powers of Ten: Cool Image progression of Milky Way to leaf on Earth
Post by: Death_Merchant on December 22, 2003, 02:49:27 pm

 Here.

It's a java app. Makes you feel a little small, eh?

 View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.
