Subject: Re: very cool digital atlas of the universe


Thanks Brendan

I found that very entertaining. Puts things in perspective. If you are
interested in scales of things in the universe, this site is
particularly interesting and goes farther/further (space/time) at both
ends than do some of the older "powers of 10" sites, from 10 (-35) to 10
(+31), with sheer speculation at both extremes, but fun.
