Fans of the “Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy” series will remember a powerful image… the ultimate punishment was to be locked in a room where you would be exposed to the whole grandeur of the universe, and then, in the midst of your amazement you would be shown your position in the vastness of creation and immediately go insane. This motion graphic from Astronomy Picture of the Day probably won’t drive you insane but it will give you a lot to think about. From the quantum foam that underlies existence to the outer edges of the observable universe, you can zoom in and out to get a feel for the relative size of everything in existence.
