Powers of Ten: The Universe, from Top to Bottom
Morgan J. Locke
Here is something fun—an animated graphic that shows you the scale of the universe, from big cosmological structures all the way down to clusters of quarks in an atomic nucleus.
There are a number of these scale tutorials around on the web, but this one is especially well done. (They top out at our local group of galaxies. If they went all the way up to the biggest scale, it’d be perfect.)
