The Scale Of The Universe is a cool Flash animation where you zoom through the orders of magnutide of different objects. Compare the size of matchsticks to a square inch, or compare a human egg to a human hair. Is a blue whale larger or smaller than the average US house? Is Halley’s Comet larger than Mount Everest? How large is the Eiffel Tower compared to an elephant? Or compared to the Titanic? Is the Vatican larger than Central Park? Which is larger, the moon or the United States? In this animation you can see them all side by side and compare their relative sizes!
