The Scale of the Universe
This is an impressive interactive graphic that let's you zoom far down to see parts of the universe on a quantum level or out to see the universe on a cosmic scale. You can see things like subatomic particles and electromagnetic waves if you zoom in far enough, and planets and nebulae if you zoom out. In between are bacteria, animals, monuments, and more. You can click on every object to read a short description. Click here to view the graphic.

WikiSky Interactive Sky Map
This is an amazing sky map. You can change the surveying mode, like Ultraviolet, Hydrogen Alpha, and Infrared, in the top left corner. Sky Map mode lets you see the stars like you typically would in a photo. You can zoom in and out and drag the map around to see different parts of space. It's very easy to get caught up in looking at all the star clusters and nebulae, and I spent over an hour doing just that. It is quite addictive! Click here to go to WikiSky.
