Anyway, I thought this was pretty interesting.

Hit the manual button and then manually scroll through the pictures because the slideshow goes a bit too quick.

I'm not too much into astronomy or whatever you want to call it, but it's pretty amazing to look at this and see how we're just a speck of dust in the universe.

That was pretty neat. Especially how far you can zoom in.

Yea that was pretty cool. In my class we watched a movie of basicly the same thing. It's called powers of 10. It did basicly the same thing but as a movie and when it zoomed back down to earth it goes into a human hand then into the cells etc. The movie was only like 10 minutes but it was sick.

Yea I watched that in my physics class back in highschool. My teacher also had some flip book that did the same thing, it was pretty cool.
