Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very interesting page on its site. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million light years and then Zooms in towards Earth in powers of ten. 10 million, to one million, to 100,000 light years and then it finally reaches a large Oak tree. If ever there was a witness to creation, these folks have captured it for our viewing pleasure!



Once you click on the site, the software does all the work. Sit back and imagine how perfect our universe is! You can play it forward and backward to be amazed over and over. At the end it says AUTO....click on that and review the process in reverse!

That's a pretty neat little link. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Thank you BTS, that really is pretty nifty!

THAT was cool! Thanks for sharing it!

Yeah it's cool. If you want to see the real thing in realtime, the movie to watch is "Cosmic Voyage." They do the same thing only with moving pictures. The original of this is called, "Powers of Ten" and it came out in the 1970's I have a copy of both films and I use them every year in Pre-Algebra.

You get to build your own "creature" and then animate it.

Thanks BTS - good site.

Also Jives - but only to be undertaken with a very clear head!
