How fantastic our Universe is - cooool
Hubby sent me an email with this information and link. Just had to pass it on - so fantastic to see
Subject: FW: Fantastic Site
For you science people. This is very cool.
Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very interesting Java applet on their site. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million light years and then zooms in towards Earth in powers of ten of distance. 10 million, to one million, to 100,000 light years and so on and then it finally reaches a large Oak tree leaf. But that is not all it zooms into the leaf until it reaches to the level of the quarks viewed at 100 attometers.

This is a fantastic representation of how magnificent the Universe is and how vastly infinite it is both in the macroscopic and the microscopic l Molecular Expressions: Science, Optics and You - Powers Of 10: Interactive Java Tutorial

great link
I'm fascinated with space, solar systems etc, I was watching a programme on the discovery channel the other night, and it really puts things into prespective on just how tiny we are!

Cooool, anyone done the Planetarium in Manhattan, the Tom Hanks narrated journey through the universe is mind blowing!
