a really neat zoomable "scale map of the universe"

I would recommend you use the mouse wheel to zoom "out" first, then slowly drag the slider inward to really get the major case of "Wow Man Is So Insignificant In The Grand Scale Of Things" heebee jeebees (extra affect when the haunting music coincidentally syncs up with the pace you have chosen) -- and keep going all the way into the tiniest scale. Wow, the universe is"big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is."  8)



note: the original has all of the explanatory text visible (instead of requiring a click on each object) http://htwins.net/scale/
