There, if that is not educational, I don’t know what is
View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

That is fabulous.
I think I have linked to that before or a version of it. It’s based on a rather old book which, of course, the Tooth household bought many many years ago!! Can’t remember what that’s called, though I guess Alison will.
Duh, it’s mentioned on that page….’Powers of Ten’.

I have seen this before (or something very similar) too, somewhere else. This Java version works quite nicely though.
