Putting the universe in perspective

My mother recently sent me a fascinating URL. The web site starts the viewer off by showing the Milky Way Galaxy from 10 million light years away. Then the web site zooms in by factors of ten each time. It helps to give some sense of the scale of our galaxy, our solar system, Earth, and so on, down to the subatomic level. Pretty educational.
