Yes, that's a good one. I've seen it before. Even with such graphic illustrations the range of scale of things in the universe from us up is very hard to comprehend.

Here is a good one showing the relative sizes of planets in our solar system, versus our sun and much larger suns, all the way up to Antares.

It's back working now! Maybe they has a server or a bandwidth problem.

[Blue Fire]

Yep, both of those sites posted seem to be working now. And they do look like they have the same basic zooming features of the universe with the same views. Thanks! I do like it..... also now.

Great websites, they really put things into perspective regarding size and distance.
