This is very cool. It's amazing to zoom in first to see crazy small objects (What the hells a quark?!), and then see the different solar systems, planets, and stars. Seriously, I know it's been a few years since I studied science, but I don't remember anyone saying there were things smaller than protons and neutrons.

Also, watch out for Japanese Spider Crabs

Why didn't they ever make a Gamera vs. The Spider Crabs movie? Those things are a hell of a lot scarier than the stupid paper mache monsters they invented.

Where in the hell was this when I was teaching scientific notation to classrooms full of 8th graders a month ago. They might have actually been somewhat interested in the topic.

What students being interested in a topic? I actually showed it in class today and lost them when talking about a kilometer. "Thought it was a really small number"
