Powers of Ten

Someone has put up the classic 1977 short Powers of Ten on youtube. Starting with a park in Chicago, the film zooms out 10x every 10 seconds, zooming past such things as Earth, the solar system, the Milky Way, and a large part of the Universe. Then it zooms back into an atom in the hand of a picnicker in the park.

Thanks, Marco. This was pretty entertaining for 8:41. These are things I'm glad you find on the internet so I just have to click on 'em and enjoy.
