Scale of the Universe

This is a really cool website to see how "how great and small" our universe is. Check it out and post your comments: http://htwins.net/scale2/

  1. Cool site. Zooming in and out really puts things into perspective. For one thing, I had no idea the Hoover Dam was that big. However, in comparison to many things it seemed quite small. To be honest I had no idea what half the stuff shown here was. Once I got into space and made it past the basic planets I had no idea about the nebula and dwarf stars and stuff. Very cool stuff though. And the smaller things were very cool as well. I figured the smallest stuff on earth would be bacteria, but what I didn't realize was just how small the smallest of bacteria are. Neat site.
