"The Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL has put up a very interesting Java applet on their site. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million light years and then zooms in towards Earth in powers of ten of the distance. 10 million, to one million, to 100,000 light years and so on and then when it finally reaches a large oak tree leaf. But that is not all. It zooms into the leaf until it reaches the level of the quarks viewed at 100 altimeters." — sent in from Jeff Davis Road.
