NOT Safe For Work ...

... because you can lose yourself all day in this, really endearing yourself to your boss. :-)

The Scale of the Universe - Interactive
Flash Animation Credit & Copyright: Cary & Michael Huang

... a modern version of the classic video Powers of Ten, is a new window to many of the known scales of our universe. By moving the scroll bar across the bottom, you can explore a diversity of sizes, while clicking on different items will bring up descriptive information.

This is an incredible interactive Flash video, and if I can load and run it on my antique dial-up connection, most of you should have no problems at all.

Click on the music note in the upper right corner for a very nice (and appropriate) piece of background music.

It ranges through 43 63 orders of magnitude (be sure to go to both ends of the scroll bar).

Enjoy - and don't forget; I warned you. :-)
