Powers of Ten

NASA APOD · Charles & Ray Eames (Eames Office)
COSMIC MESSAGE

How different does the universe look on small, medium, and large scales? The film "Powers of Ten" gives comparisons, zooming out by a factor of ten every ten seconds. From a picnic blanket near Chicago out past the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies, this film, originally created in the 1960s, shows the universe's vastness.
