"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."
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University has a very interesting web site and in a newly added web exhibit provide a progressive look at both inner and outer space proving that outer space and inner space look pretty much the same. A dazzling display. Click here and your computer should do the rest. At the end you can click Auto and reverse the process.
