From Eternity to Here!!!

The 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 into
towards Earth in powers of ten of distance. 10 million, to one million, to
100,000 light years and so on and then when it finally reaches a large Oak
tree leaf. But that is not all . It zooms into the leaf until it reaches
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
level.
