The Very Large, and Us, and the Very Small

Link to 'The Scale of the Universe'

"A PROTON is about one femtometre (10-15 metres) across, whereas the Pistol Star spans 47m kilometres. Such are the facts that can be gleaned from an utterly delightful data visualisation created by Michael and Cary Huang, which allows you to fly through space comparing the size of everything, from neutrinos to nebulae."
[words: The Economist]
