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.
