Awesome!  Thanks for posting.  It took a long time to load, but it showed the title "scale of the universe".  I was afraid it was trying to download the whole bloody universe and I don't think I have enough RAM for that. [unsure]

Do you use this in your classes?

Estimated size of the Universe 93,000,000,000 light years.  Hmmm, I wonder what that would be in parrots. [big grin]

Wow, that is some wild stuff.  I still don't even begin to grasp the idea of it.  It's funny how we live the majority of our conscience lives on such a small fraction of the scale.
