Quarks to Quasars.
Take a journey from the inside of a proton to the farthest reaches of the universe.
"This is a visual journey consisting of 42 images -- 42 powers of ten. At one end of the journey is the immensity of the known universe, 13.7 billion years old with a diameter of at least 20 billion light years (and probably much larger). At the other end of the journey is a depiction of the three quarks within a proton." Absolutely fascinating.

Powers of 10 presentations are great for a drug-free mind trip. Just image while on drugs ...

Does it annoy anyone else that "powers of 10" ripoffs are now mandatory in all movies involving space?
