my kids were speechless when they finished with this.

i think it gave them a good sense of scale and where they sit in the grand scheme of importance.

My kids are never speechless.

I do love this scale of the universe thing though. I've gotten lost in it and the old version a bunch of times. I never realised you could click things for a description though. Now I'm going to get lost in it again.

Absolutely fascinating. Did anyone watch the doco on the cold war and UFOs the other night. It was absolutely fascinating also, and confirms my belief (with this website) that we couldnt be the only living thinking beings in the galaxy
