How different does the universe look on small, medium, and large scales? The most famous short science film of its generation gives breathtaking comparisons. That film, Powers of Ten, originally created in the 1960s, has now been officially posted to YouTube

This is a remake of the also fabulous film,"Cosmic Zoom", produced by the National Film Board of Canada in 1968. I saw this as a High School student back then and it left a lasting impression on me.

I had a booklet with the whole series of pictures. I probably still have it around here somewhere. Or my little sister got it.
