The Universe Within

[Glaswegian]

This is amazing. I was sent this link by relatives in the States. It shows the Universe from 10 million light years away and gradually, by reducing powers of 10, you focus on an oak tree in Florida and then down to proton level within a leaf on the tree.

If you are interested in an excellent realistic 3D space simulator you can try Celestia at: http://celestia.sourceforge.net/

I have spend many hours 'travelling' in it (although it's not a game).

Unfortunately its official website is down but you can found a very good Celestia related website (with many many real and fictional downloads) at: http://celestiamotherlode.net/
