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. micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/*test*

That is amazing aye snooka, the further we look, up or down, it just seems to keep going... It must loop back into itself somehow, a self sustaining power station maybe?

Amazing!!

Listening to a computer program thats on National Radio every Sat morning before the 6am news. Anyway they were talking about Google Sky so I had a look today and its still in its infancy but when up and running it should be good, they are in the process of linking to observatories around the World so should see some interesting stuff in the future. Anyone wants to look just type in your address bar Googlesky and you should get a small dowload.
