Quarks to Quasars, Powers of Ten
This is a visual journey consisting of 42 images — 42 powers of ten. At one end of the journey is the immensity of the known universe, 13.7 billion years old with a radius of at least 12 billion light years (and probably much larger). At the other end of the journey is a depiction of the three quarks within a proton.

Helpful tip: Start by clicking on the middle picture (1 meter) which is a picture of lily pads in a pond, and zoom in or out from there. At each subsequent picture click on +1 or -1 in order to zoom out or in by one power of ten, respectively.
