Want to take a mind-blowing trip without using drugs?
Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very
interesting page on their 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.
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. At the end it says "AUTO"... click on that and
review the
process in reverse!

Secret Worlds: The
Universe Within
View the Milky Way at 10 million light years
from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in
successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just
outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in
Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual
size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the
cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of
electrons and protons.
