"Powers of Ten takes us on an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports us to the outer edges of the universe. Every ten seconds we view the starting point from ten times farther out until our own galaxy is visible only a s a speck of light...

That's a classic. I first saw this film while visiting the Smithsonian Air & Space museum back in the late 70's. I'm happy to see it's been updated. Quantum Junction: Use both lanes

It is fascinating, but I'll admit I only watched it until it left the solar system.  |

I got here real late. This vid is a classic that deserves far more general exposure than it has gotten. I love it. If you pay attention you can learn some good stuff....like what is the measure of an angstron and what distance comprises a light year, and more. |
