Stuff like this just amazes me. Scale of the universe.

After the commercial you can click on some of the objects to get facts about their size, etc. and then you can zoom in or zoom way out to see just how we fit in relative to the universe. 

Pretty wild to think about.

Great link!  I should've read your comment all the way though. I wanted to know more about some of those things and now I'll have to go back and click on them.

I really love stuff like this. Really makes you think.  I have always had a great interest in Astronomy. Thanks for the link.

National Geographic had a huge poster showing the scale of the universe. I printed it at work, about 3' x 5' and it was amazing.

Here it is for sale but I think it can be found for free as a file.
